Reining is a horse-riding competition with western origins where competitors guide their mounts through a series of specific circles, spins and stops.
The ranch is owned by Gina’s mother Corinna, and was this year home to the largest ever international event for reiners.
Schumacher saluted in the senior professional riders individual competition, one of seven divisions reiners competed across, aboard Take Out The Trash with a score off 225.5.
She was half a point clear of Italy’s Davide Brighenti, while Tiara van Dongen rounded out the podim with a score of 224.
“GOLD for team Germany. Proud to represent our country,” Schumacher wrote.
TikTok fan @ivyxwhiskey added: “Imagine how proud her dad would be.”
Gina’s father Michael has not been seen publicly since the ill-fated 2013 skiing accident that almost took his life.
Since then, Schumacher’s life has been meticulously shielded from public view by his wife and family.
His exact health condition is unknown to anyone outside his very close-knit circle.
The latest Michael Schumacher health update was a sad one for fans of the F1 legend.
Schumacher’s friend and former boss, Flavio Briatore, said he finds it incredibly hard to see the bedridden Schumacher.
“If I close my eyes, I see him smiling after a victory,” Briatore told Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera last month.
“I prefer to remember him like that rather than him just lying on a bed.
“Corinna and I talk often, though.”
Schumacher won seven Formula One world championships across what was arguably the most decorated career in the history of the sport.
He last competed in 2012.
