The Yang-Mills Schroedinger equation is solved in Coulomb gauge for the vacuum by the variational principle using an Ansatz for the wave functional, which is strongly peaked at the Gribov horizon. A coupled set of Schwinger-Dyson equations for the gluon and ghost propagators in the Yang-Mills vacuum as well as for the curvature of gauge orbit space is derived and solved in one-loop approximation. We find an infrared suppressed gluon propagator, an infrared singular ghost propagator, and an almost linearly rising confinement potential.
