Australian Performance Horse Magazine

James and Tanya O’Ryan are a husband and wife team with a reputation for creative ideas, work attribute, positive attitude and dedication in everything they commit to. They are excited to add the Australian Performance Horse Magazine to the enterprises they currently own and manage. With the couple’s passion for horses the opportunity to own the Australian Performance Horse Magazine seemed a no brainer. A third generation Equestrian and a background across the many English and Western disciplines Tanya understands that horses are more than a hobby, they are a lifetime passion. James has a background in farming as well as producing, training and riding Stock Horses. Together they run Crackenrock Performance Horses. The APH Magazine first hit the newsstands in 1989, and in 2019 we celebrate 30 years of publication. James and Tanya look forward to taking this magazine into the future by continuing to include all performance horse disciplines from show jumping to showing, campdrafting to reining and everything in between. James and Tanya believe that a job worth doing, is worth doing well. In every area of business, they are known for their commitment to delivering products and services they can be proud of. As new owners of the Australian Performance Horse Magazine, their commitment is to provide advertisers, industry representatives and readers with a quality publication worthy of our many performance horse disciplines.

From the Editors

Australian Performance Horse Magazine

NOT GOOD ENOUGH

A quick word on … ENGLISH SADDLES, BRIDLES & EQUIPMENT for Western Performance Show Classes • Go and watch a Western Performance show and you’ll find that there are some great classes catering to those who love riding English style. Hunter Under Saddle, Hunt Seat Equitation and Hunter Hack are three enjoyable classes offered at most Western Performance shows. If you’d like to compete in any or all of these classes it’ll pay to educate yourself on the saddlery and gear that you’ll need!
