Australian Performance Horse Magazine has been part of the heartbeat of the equine world since 1989.The APH Magazine first hit the newsstands in 1989, and has continued as a household favourite ever since. With over three decades in print, it has grown into Australia’s favourite equine magazine—celebrating the horses, riders, breeders, and businesses that shape our performance horse industry from paddocks to podiums.
From the very beginning, our mission has been to connect the equestrian community through powerful storytelling. We shine a light on the grit, passion, and dedication it takes to live and work with horses—whether you’re chasing ribbons, building a breeding program, running a rural business, or simply riding for the love of it. Our readers come from every corner of the country and every discipline—from show jumping to reining, campdrafting to dressage—and our pages reflect the diversity and richness of the Australian horse world.
We owe a heartfelt thank you to Tanya and James O’Ryan, and all our previous owners who brought incredible passion, creativity, and commitment to the magazine. A third-generation equestrian, Tanya brought deep industry insight and heart to every page, while James—drawing from his background in farming and Stock Horse training—helped steer APH with a strong and steady hand. Together, they built on the legacy of the magazine while expanding its reach and continuing to support the community they love.Their vision and work ethic have left an indelible mark, and we’re deeply grateful to follow in their footsteps.
Now under new ownership and guided by editor Tiff, APH is entering an exciting new era. With roots in Victoria and a lifelong love for horses, Tiff brings fresh eyes, a deep respect for the magazine’s legacy, and a sincere passion for reconnecting with the equestrian community—especially those doing incredible work behind the scenes. While new to publishing, her goal is simple: to keep the heart of APH beating strong while continuing to share and showcase the best of Australian Equestrian.
At Australian Performance Horse Magazine, we’re more than just a publication; we have a passionate community of artists and story tellers alongside our support to businesses as a magazine-first marketing solution. Through in-depth features, expert insights, and heartfelt stories, we’re here to inform, inspire, and bring the performance horse world closer together.
We’re honoured to carry this magazine forward and invite you to ride alongside us in this exciting new chapter.
