Stall Paul Schockemöhle

What Stall Paul Schockemöhle does

Paul Schockemöhle Pferdehaltung GmbH is a privately held German equestrian enterprise operating a vertically integrated sporthorse breeding, training, and sales business under the globally recognized "PS" brand. Founded in 1965 by three-time European Show Jumping Champion Paul Schockemöhle, the company is currently led by CEO Vivien Schockemöhle and runs four operational pillars: a stallion breeding station in Mühlen housing 100+ stallions; the Lewitz Stud in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, a 3,000-hectare facility holding ~4,000 mares and young horses with ~1,000 foals born annually; the Sport Stable Mühlen, which trains and competes approximately 250 horses; and an auction/sales division running bi-weekly online auctions and flagship international live events (P.S.I. Ankum, Mexico Open Sales, Flyinge Open Sales, Hof Kasselmann Hybrid, Ising Open Sales, Traverse City Open Sales).

Revenue is generated through four streams: stud fees from stallion services (insemination + gestation fees with volume discounts and multi-mare contracts, plus frozen semen, sexed semen at €595, embryo transfer, and ICSI programs using approved external labs); horse sales via online and live auctions plus direct consulting with personalized matching; training and competition services at Sport Stable Mühlen; and livery services at the EU-approved stud in Mühlen (€15.47–€35.70/day). Distribution is supported by a network of ~30 breeding partners across ~20 countries, handling international semen shipments with EU Traces health documentation.

The company serves three primary customer segments: professional equestrian athletes and competition riders (Olympic and Nations Cup level), horse breeders seeking elite stallion genetics, and foal/young-horse buyers. With 500 total employees across all divisions, 2,000 PS-branded horses active in international sport, and a 60+ year brand heritage, the business competes on scale, integration, and brand reputation in the premium European sporthorse market.
