Daniel Mast

Daniel Mast is a Percheron horse breeder in Arthur, IL, central Illinois near Decatur. He has been involved in Percheron breeding for several years and holds memberships in national draft horse associations, following established guidelines for health and conformation.

His horses live on pasture paddocks with open-sided barns for shelter and are fed a balanced diet of hay and grain tailored to their workload. Routine veterinary checks, regular farrier visits and daily handling help them maintain sound health and develop calm manners. Foals are gradually weaned in small group paddocks to minimize stress and encourage social bonds.

Several of his mares and geldings have placed at regional draft horse shows and plowing matches, showcasing both strength and trainability. This small-scale setting allows each horse to receive individual attention from foaling through training. Owners note clear communication throughout the selection process and ongoing support as they introduce a Percheron to their own farms.
