Faces of WEF – Tanner Korotkin

Tanner Korotkin grew up in Wellington, the son of well-known trainers Alan and Kirsty Korotkin of Castlewood Farm. While his parents introduced him to horses as a child, he did not express an interest in equestrian sports until he was 11 years old. Despite the late start, he caught up quickly and is now making a name for himself in show jumping. Korotkin earned the prestigious Junior Jumper Championship at the 2019 Devon Horse Show and concluded his junior career with ribbons at the Platinum Performance/USEF Show Jumping Talent Search Finals-East, the Lindsay Maxwell Charitable Fund WIHS Equitation Final and the ASPCA Maclay National Championship. In 2019, he won the Potcreek Meadow Farm Junior Sportsmanship Trophy at the Winter Equestrian Festival. He spent last summer working under Irish show jumper Shane Sweetnam at Sweet Oak Farm and has returned to Wellington with an eye on a successful 2021 season.
