Racing legend and seven-time Formula One world champion Michael Schumacher is recovering at a custom-built clinic that was built on the grounds of his home overlooking Lake Geneva from a serious head injury from a skiing accident in the French Alps in December 2013.

But while Michael's wife Corinna is guarding the progress of his recovery like a hawk, Schumacher's children are carrying out the family legacy and making names for themselves in their respective sports.

Michael's 16-year-old son Mick is expected to debut at Germany's famous Nuerburgring circuit in the Formula Four series. Zee News reported that sister Gina, mom Corinna and uncle Ralf Schumacher are flying to Neubergring to watch Mick compete in the Formula 4 race tournament.

Another Schumacher who is making the family name proud is of course the 18-year-old Gina who is wowing the crowd in showjumping. The Daily Mail, Gina made quite a show during last Friday's cin Aachen, Germany as she dazzled the crowd with her performance riding her seven-year-old stallion Sharp Dressed Shiner. The FEI competition requires riders to navigate their horses a series pattern of spins, stops and circles.

"She was very honored and had a lot of fun," Michael Schumacher's manager, Sabine Kehm commented on Gina's performance.

The Straits Times said Gina rode Sharp Dressed Shiner for the first time the night before the tournament but she showed great composure and skill that impressed the crowd by showcasing her reining talent, a western-style riding contest.
