Ivan Mast

Ivan Mast and Ivan Jay Byler are Percheron breeders in Halifax, VA, serving the Piedmont region near Lynchburg. Their program aligns with national registry standards, with regular veterinary evaluations, routine vaccinations and documented bloodlines.

Foals are raised on spacious pastures with gradual exposure to farm equipment and visitors, emphasizing calm temperament and sound development. Local reviews highlight their approachable style and clear communication during barn visits, which are scheduled periodically to share insights on Percheron horse care. The farm rests on a century-old homestead where time-honored draft horse traditions meet contemporary welfare practices. Owners often commend the thorough hoof care, stress-free handling and ongoing advice provided through each stage of training.

They offer both foals and broodmares, with full evaluations and temperament assessments included in the adoption process. Their focus on calm, reliable Percherons has helped clients integrate horses into small farms and equine therapy settings.
