Carl W. Massey

Carl W. Massey and Martha R. Massey are Percheron horse breeders in Banner, MS, Marshall County and northern Mississippi near Memphis. They have bred Percherons for more than ten years and participate in national equine associations, ensuring all breeding stock undergoes regular veterinary evaluations and health screenings.

Their horses live in open pastures with sheltered loafing areas and follow a daily routine of turnout, balanced feed, and hands-on handling from foalhood to build trust and sound conformation. The Masseys blend working farm traditions with a focus on temperament, socializing young horses to adapt to both farm tasks and ridden work. Through local fairs and light draft demonstrations, their Percherons showcase solid bone and steady dispositions appreciated by fellow enthusiasts. Foals receive routine farriery beginning around six months to encourage correct hoof development. This approach reflects a multi-generation commitment to equine well-being, grounded in respect for the breed’s heritage and individual needs.
