Scott Mays

Scott Mays, Percheron horses in Tionesta, PA, works in northwestern Pennsylvania near Erie. He follows guidelines from the Percheron Horse Association of America, conducts annual health screenings for mare and stallion soundness, and works with a local veterinarian to oversee breeding cycles and attend foaling.

In recent years he has refined bloodlines with a focus on steady dispositions, structural soundness, and adaptability to farm work. Foals are raised in open pastures with access to sheltered run-ins and receive daily socialization from early handling through basic harness training. Adult horses live on rolling fields near the barn, enjoy regular turnout, balanced nutrition, and routine farrier care to support bone and hoof health.

Visitors note the calm demeanor of these horses during carriage presentations at county fairs and community events. Scott Mays’s farm approach balances tradition with modern husbandry to maintain the breed’s historic strength and gentle nature. Regular deworming, vaccinations, and dental checkups are part of the seasonal care schedule.
