Roger W. Mason

Roger W. Mason, Percheron horses, Ellsworth, IA, is a breeder in Ringgold County and the south-central Iowa region near Des Moines. With more than a decade of experience, he maintains memberships in national draft horse associations and follows recommended health screening protocols. His Percherons are raised in open pastures with daily turnout, receiving early handling and gentle training to support their well-being. Stalls are cleaned daily and the herd is fed a ration balanced by a consulting equine nutritionist.

The farm’s lineage includes horses that have competed in regional draft horse shows, reflecting a focus on temperament and soundness. The breeding program grew from a small hobby to a trusted local name over three generations, and graduates find roles in parades, farm work, or therapeutic riding programs across the state. His balanced approach blends traditional farm values with attentive socialization to ensure each foal grows into a reliable partner.
