Johnny Mast

Johnny Mast is a Percheron horse breeder in Opdyke, Illinois. His farm lies in Southern Illinois near St. Louis, where rolling pastures meet family barns.

For more than a decade he has refined his breeding program as a member of the Percheron Horse Association, pursuing annual health screenings, hoof maintenance and proper nutritional plans. Each foal is introduced to daily handling, early halter work and pasture turnout to encourage steady growth, friendly disposition and confidence around people. Stall bedding, veterinary checkups and turnout shelters are part of a routine designed to minimize stress and foster strong bone development.

Graduates of his program often excel in local draft competitions or farm demonstrations, praised for their gentle nature and reliable strength. Relationships often extend beyond the purchase, with shared insights on training progress and seasonal care. Owners note a steady foundation of trust and temperament that reflects years of consistent care and attention.
