Raymond Mast

Raymond Mast and Clara Mae Mast, Percherons in Oblong, IL, serve Crawford County and the Wabash Valley near Terre Haute.

They have been breeding Percherons for more than a decade, following Percheron Horse Association guidelines and routine veterinary screenings for soundness. Their horses live on spacious pasture land with daily turnout and balanced feed, and they rotate grazing to promote natural hoof health. All foals undergo early handling and ground training, with Clara overseeing each animal’s socialization to ensure adaptability with future handlers.

Several of their draft horses have been recognized at county fairs and agricultural events for their steady temperament and willingness to work. Visitors to the family farm notice the Masts’ attention to detail and genuine care that underpins every stage of their breeding program. They keep detailed records of pedigrees and offer guidance on pasture management for livestock well-being.
