Paul Schockem�hle is a former German showjumper. He is the brother of Alwin Schockem�hle, another leading German rider. He was three times European Champion on his best horse Deister. In 1990, Schockem�hle was secretly recorded poling horses, a practice which involves rapping a horse's legs with a pole to train it to jump higher. Poling is forbidden by the International Equestrian Federation, and spot checks were subsequently carried out at several other German training establishments. Today, Schockem�hle is both a breeder and trainer of some of Germany's top sport horses. In October 2010, it was announced that he had purchased Moorlands Totilas, a champion dressage stallion shown by Edward Gal, from Moorlands Stables.
