Mason Dixon

Mason Dixon is a Percheron breeder in Westminster, MD, in Carroll County near Baltimore. Heather A. Bankard has spent several years raising Percheron horses and follows guidelines set by national equine registries to ensure their soundness and temperament. Breeding stock undergoes careful evaluation for conformation and temperament, and each foal is microchipped and registered shortly after birth.

Foals are raised in spacious pastures where they learn to interact calmly with people and other horses. Veterinary checks and routine farriery are handled by local specialists to maintain strong hoof and joint health. Pastures are rotated seasonally and supplemented with a balanced hay and grain program adapted to each horse’s age and workload.

Heather also attends regional agricultural fairs to stay connected with fellow breeders and to exchange best practices. The farm combines traditional draft-horse husbandry with attention to a comfortable environment, reflecting Heather’s lifelong passion for gentle giants.
