Floyd M. Mast

Floyd M. Mast is a Percheron breeder in Lagrange, IN, in northeastern Indiana near Fort Wayne. He follows national draft horse registry standards and performs routine health screening on all breeding stock, including annual vaccinations and basic genetic testing.

Mares and foals live on open pasture with daily turnout, balanced forage rations, and regular handling to support calm temperaments. A small herd size allows attention to individual horses, resulting in even-tempered youngsters suited to recreational riding, draft demonstrations, and light farm work. Visitors and local equine professionals often note the horses’ steady nature around children, other animals, and novice handlers.

All breeding adults receive routine lameness exams, dental care, and farrier visits to maintain soundness. Foals are introduced to basic harness training by six months old, and daily socialization ensures steady temperaments. The calm nature of these horses makes them well suited to therapeutic riding programs and light farm work.
