Henry S. Mast

Henry S. Mast is a Percheron breeder in Fresno, OH in Coshocton County and the Appalachian foothills near Columbus. He has bred draft horses for more than fifteen years and holds membership in the American Percheron Horse Association. All horses undergo comprehensive health testing, including X rays for joint soundness and regular veterinary exams.

His family-run farm relies on pasture grazing and balanced forage diets with regular farrier visits to support strong hooves. Foals spend early weeks with older mares to learn herd manners and receive daily handling that builds confidence. The barn features straw bedding in roomy stalls, shaded paddocks and a cross-ventilation system to maintain air flow and reduce respiratory risks. Many local owners mention the horses’ even temperaments and readiness for light farm work or show rings. One review highlighted a calm gelding that stood quietly during a county fair hitch demonstration.
