Corinna Schumacher (née Betsch; born 2 March 1969) is a German champion equestrian. She is married to German former racing driver Michael Schumacher.

Personal life

[edit]

A horsewoman, in 2010 Schumacher won the European Championship in western style horse riding.[1] In 1997, she gave birth to a daughter, Gina-Maria, who is a professional horse rider,[2] and in 1999, a son Mick, who is professionally a racing driver and has competed in Formula One following the footsteps of his father and uncle.[3]

She is the wife of German seven-time Formula One champion Michael Schumacher and sister-in-law to former Formula One driver Ralf Schumacher. Corinna and Michael were married in Germany in August 1995.[4][5] Before she married Michael, she was in a relationship with Heinz-Harald Frentzen in the early 1990s.[6][7]

The Schumachers own horse ranches in Texas,[8] as well as in Switzerland.[9] The CS Ranch, located in Gordonville, Texas, deals in all aspects of the reining industry, focusing mainly on training and showing. CS Ranch accepts a select number of outside horses into their training program.[10]
