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.

WHERE IS THE HORSE I BOUGHT???
When the Magic Happens! • 2021 was a special year for Andrew & Erin Buchanan. The couple got to watch the relationship between their daughter, and her big golden horse, blossom into one of the strongest bonds they’ve ever seen. This is where the magical journey of 9yo Lily and Spinderella Man begins.
The Unlikely Cowhorse • Opportunity knocked for Amy Gallon, when she was selected as one of ten trainers who’d participate in the ‘Race to Ranch’ competition, at the Cowgirls Gathering event at Kilkivan, Queensland, in October, 2021. Trainers were given 100 days to re-train a recently retired racehorse, as a horse that could be used for multiple purposes in a ranch situation.
