Who is Gina-Maria, the daughter of Michael Schumacher who won the reining world championship?
Gina-Maria Schumacher , daughter of the iconic seven-time Formula 1 champion Michael Schumacher forged her own path to success, not on the racetrack , but in the reining arena. She recently won the gold medal in reining representing Germany, adding another milestone to her career.
The young rider, recognized as an NRHA Million Dollar Rider, expressed her satisfaction on social media: "Proud to represent our country. A huge thank you to Herzensangelegenheit for the amazing jerseys we get to wear this year!" This success cements her position as a leading figure in the international reining scene, a western-style equestrian discipline originating in the United States.
The Schumacher family's passion for horses transcends generations, with Corinna Schumacher , Gina-Maria's mother and founder of the Givrins Ranch, as a cornerstone. Corinna not only promoted the NRHA but also excelled as a trail and pleasure competitor, winning an intermediate amateur world championship and a European title for outstanding member. Eventually, the spotlight fell on her daughter, who transformed this inherited passion into a thriving professional career.
The Ranch CS de Givrins, designed by Corinna, represents the pinnacle of private reining facilities in Switzerland, both in size and modernity. With its 46 stalls and an impressive 95 by 50 meter indoor arena, capable of hosting over 1,400 people, this complex stands as an international benchmark for the discipline, guaranteeing optimal conditions for elite events and consolidating the family's enduring equestrian tradition.
On a personal level, Gina married last year and in March 2025 became the mother of her first child, and granddaughter of the Formula 1 champion, to whom she dedicated some heartfelt words on Instagram. “Welcome to the world, Millie. Our hearts are fuller than ever. It's a blessing to have you in our lives.”
