Management



Samantha (#1) - Owner

Hey! My name is Sam. I created this corner of the internet, and ran it as my full time job for 11 years! However, I've since retired from game development and no longer manage HP.

Outside of HP, I work in tech and I have (most of) a Culinary Arts degree. I have a huge cookbook collection, and I also like to read novels (mostly YA or mystery).

I live in Omaha, Nebraska with my husband, Joel! At home, I am curating my own mini-zoo. I have three cats (Mr. Doo, Noodle, and Elvira). I've been riding since I was a kid, mainly hunter/jumper. I own an OTTB named Pilot.




Blitz (#2049) - Director of Horse Phenomena

Hey! My name is Jess. I'm from Canada, and have played HP since the dawn of time (in reality, since June 2009). In my spare time, I love to knit, binge watch tv, read, and hang out with my pet house hippo, who likes to eat the crumbs from peanut butter on toast and sleep in my closet.


If you need help and send an email to admin@horsephenomena.com, it comes to me!

Broken Vow (#22700) - Community Manager

Hey! The name's Sam, though many call me Broken Vow, Vow, or BV. I'm in my early 30's, married, living in southern California. Former New Englander who decided to venture out to the Midwest for college and chose to stick around for several years after. Life happened and now living on the West Coast. I have two domestic shorthair kitties. One is an orange tabby named Alejate or Ale for short and the other is black with little flecks of white hairs placed here and there named Emerald or Emmie for short. I currently don't own any horses but I've held various barn staff/volunteer positions over the years. Before moving I was volunteering at a little hunter/jumper barn that also offers a therapeutic riding program. I've been taking riding lessons since I was 12 and have had the opportunity to compete in Huntseat, Driving, Halter, Western Pleasure, and my most favorite Saddle Seat. Love, Love, American Saddlebreds!




Koni (#33) - Head Administrator

Hey guys! Koni here~ Or Kon, Cone, Eiko, Bob… I was born in the early ’90s, and I live in South East (In HP Time!) USA. I currently am the Operations Manager at a Dog Boarding and Daycare Facility and have been working there since Oct 2015! I currently live on 12 acres of land with my Husband, along with our many dogs, cats, chickens, and ducks! We bought our house in Nov of 2020 and got married in May 2021. My favorite non-work activities are doing sports with my pups and hanging out with my chickens in the backyard!
I’ve played HP on and off since 2010, originally on account #14448 with my sister from another mister, G.old. After a break between 2014 to 2017, I became a little more serious about playing and being involved and joined the Mod team in Nov 2017. In Dec of 2019, I was promoted onto the Admin team and couldn’t be happier! I oversee the Clubs and Breed Embassies, along with adding new breeds to the game and keeping the Mods on their toes.

Always feel free to shoot me a message on my Main account #33 and I’ll be happy to assist ya, or point you in the right direction of who can help.





Content Moderators



Skelletor (#15175)

Hello! My name is Skye, and I am in my 30s, living in the stunning Gippsland region of Australia. I am married, have a young son, and work as an accounts administrator for a construction company.
My home is filled with unusual creatures, from tarantulas to lorikeets, as well as my rescue doggo, Priya and my chairman-of-the-house feline, Winnie. I love to read, write, chug coffee, paint and sing. When not on HP, you can find me on World of Warcraft, or nose-deep in a book. I love to chat and meet new people, so feel free to drop me a line!



Event Coordinators



Panthera Onca (#13599)

Hey, I'm Pants. I'm the resident HP nurse, although my paid position is Event Coordinator. I have also worn the hat of moderator in years past. I now reside in the woods of Wisconsin, having recently border-hopped across the Mississippi from Minnesota after marrying my Mr. Pants. I think I was meant to live in the Land of Cheese. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, cooking, traveling (I can talk your ear off about national parks or Caribbean cruises, hmu...), hiking, playing piano, and the occasional dabble in RDR or Assassins' Creed.




Mango (#1802)

Hallo! I am Mango - although I also answer to Monstaccato (and it's many variants), Nina, and Ms. M. I'm just passing 26 years old and am currently wasting time in California before moving somewhere with greener pastures. I have a passion for biology, web design, and too many film and video game franchises. I've found ways to be involved in all those things by teaching bio, coding here on Horse Phenomena, and hosting all kinds of fandom-themed activities. I'm 3 hours behind HP time and you can usually find me online when all normal people are fast asleep. I love to help out and tend to have my fingers in a lot of pies, so I'm always ready to answer questions or make new friends!




City of Angels (#1237)

Hi, it's City of Angels here, but most people call me City. In RL my name is Lisa, I am a mid 30 something originally from New Zealand, but now live just outside of London with my soon to be husband. I am a qualified nurse by trade, specialising in forensic psychiatry. I am currently back at university completing my masters in Social Science, with a specialisation in Social Work.

I am owned by the love of my life, Luna, my gorgeous Somali cat and Indie, my goofy golden retriever. I can talk your ear off for hours about these two!

I am a world traveller, currently on a mission to see the world. I left home six years ago, and so far have seen a lot of the world!

My other hobbies include reading, writing, theatre, debating and HP events (especially bingo!)

You can usually find me floating around chat, but if you ever need anything please drop me a message.
