Personal life

A keen horsewoman, in 2010 she won the European Championship in western style horse riding.[1] Corinna is also an avid dog lover and a dedicated animal rights activist. In 1997, she gave birth to a daughter, Gina-Maria, who is a non-professional horse rider,[2] and in 1999, a son, Mick, who competes in formula racing.[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 got married on August 1995 in Germany.[4][5]

Corinna and Michael own horse ranches in Texas, US,[6] and Switzerland.[7] 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.[8]

After her husband's skiing accident, Corinna sold his jet and his holiday home in Norway.[9]
