NRHA 3 Million Dollar Owner
Corinna Schumacher has become only the second in NRHA history to reach the $3 million owner milestone. The German native, who owns and operates CS Ranches in Texas and Switzerland, surpassed the $2 million mark in August 2023. Since then her daughter, Gina Schumacher, has continued to lead the charge, earning significant victories aboard their horses.
Corinna established herself as a breeder of elite reining horses. Her dedication to developing top-quality equine athletes has yielded numerous champions, with her horses consistently excelling at major NRHA events. In 2024 alone, Gina and CS Ranch horses have teamed up to contribute nearly $400,000 to Corinna’s owner record.
Significant performers owned by Corinna include:
- Gunna Stepya (Gunnatrashya x SDP A Lasting Step), bred and nominated by Adh-Mor Ranch, owned by CS Ranch LLC - $254,141 NRHA LTE
- CS Especially Moody (Gunners Special Nite x Judys a Little Moody), bred and nominated by CS Ranch LLC - $229,059 NRHA LTE

CS Ranch Texas and Switzerland
Home of the Schumachers´ success
CS Ranch in Givrins, Switzerland, was the original home of the Schumachers’ success. Then Corinna recognized the growth their business could have with a headquarters in the United States, and the family purchased 460 acres in Gordonville, Texas, and built a state-of-the-art facility. CS Ranch was completed in 2012.
Corinna has not only had success as an NRHA owner but as a Non Pro as well. She competed in trail and pleasure classes and earned NRHA European Affiliate titles and an NRHA Intermediate Non Pro World Championship.
Much of Corinna’s success as an owner has come from the success of her daughter on the backs of many of CS Ranch’s horses, including Gunnastepya, CS Sailor Made, CS Sailing Gun, Gunners Enterprise, Gotta Nifty Gun or Snip O Lution.
Over the years, CS Ranch Switzerland has made its mark in the European Reining Industry, with hosting shows that were state of the art. Corinna and her daughter Gina were certainly putting the sport of reining on the European landmark, and creating awareness for a sport not that known before their successes.
Corinna and Gina: an impressive team
Sharing my Passion
For me, it’s a dream come true to share my passion with my daughter Gina. We often sit together in the evenings. We talk about this horse or that one, and Gina knows exactly what they need. And I think to myself: It’s amazing, Gina can really read the horses.
