John C. Mast

John C. Mast is a Percheron horse breeder in Nacogdoches, TX, in Nacogdoches County and the Piney Woods near Tyler. He follows routine health and conformation evaluations in line with standard guidelines and keeps detailed records for each foal.

His horses spend their early months on pasture, receiving daily handling to encourage calm temperaments and strong social bonds. The farm’s mixed-grass pastures and sheltered paddocks support natural movement and gradual training from weaning through light harness work. This thoughtful approach often results in Percherons noted for their steady disposition and versatile ability in farm tasks or light driving.

Mature stallions are kept in individual paddocks with regular exercise to maintain muscle tone and reduce stress. Visiting equine practitioners conduct on-farm wellness checks and breeding evaluations throughout the year. The farm’s modest scale allows for tailored foal care, ensuring each young horse benefits from individual attention.
