Lester Mast

Lester Mast is a Percheron horse breeder in Clearbrook, MN, northwest Minnesota near Bemidji. With more than a decade of experience in draft horse breeding, its farm participates in American Percheron Horse Association events and follows established breed registry guidelines. Health protocols include regular veterinary evaluations, farrier visits, and routine metabolic and orthopedic testing.

On the farm, horses are raised in open pasture herds with daily socialization to handlers and early exposure to basic harness work. Nutrition is based on high-quality hay and balanced grain rations adjusted for growth phases, while clean stalls and turnout paddocks are maintained daily to support hoof health and exercise. Ground-driving exercises and basic halter training begin before weaning to build confidence and responsiveness. A number of its Percheron foals have placed in local draft horse competitions, reflecting a focus on sound conformation and steady disposition.
