  • The proven annual in the market

    For nearly two decades the WHA has proven the test of time with many competitors falling by the way side over the years. Created by Mel Gauld since its inception in 2004, this once-a-year magazine is available in newsagents Australia wide.  The only publication of its kind that is dedicated just to the Western Horse breeds, this collectable publication means you’re ad will be revisited for years (and decades!) to come.

  • We are part of your industry!

    Mel Gauld was the brain child behind the WHA’s creation & growth into its current format. Creating her first Western Horse Annual at the age of 23, Mel has strived to produce an annual that fills the advertising and marketing gaps in the western horse scene. Incorporating ideas sourced from the leading magazines in the USA and her own ideas from feedback and experience has resulted in the magazine you read today. An accomplished equine photographer and graphic artist, Mel puts her skills to good use in the WHA, and has been an active competitor in the western horse show scene since the early 90’s. She has multiple national, state and NPHA champion titles with horses she has owned and bred in halter, western pleasure and hunter under saddle events.
    With the help of contributors throughout the industry assisting with material each year, Mel is driven to create an interesting and diverse range of subjects to publish in each years edition. If you have an idea that you think might make a great article – contact mel@westernhorseannual.com
