Colby Winther Konig (2024)

Equestrian

Colby Winther Konig was making her first appearance at the Royal Winter Fair, the crown jewel of the Canadian equestrian scene. She had every reason to let her nerves get the best of her. Instead, the 15-year-old from Prince George went out and dominated.

At the Royal Winter Fair, held in Toronto in the fall of 2023, Winter Konig claimed the Jump Canada national championship and also won the Canadian Equestrian Team (CET) finals. In the Jump Canada competition, she was up against riders as old as 18. And in the CET finals, competitors were as old as 21.

Winther Konig was aboard homebred gelding Big Ticket for both her victories. She’s coached by her mom, Sorine Winther, and represents RidgeCountry Farm.

Despite her young age, Winther Konig plans on moving up to the U-25 division this season.
