William Masching

He has been raising draft horses for more than a decade with registrations through recognized equine associations and routine health screenings. His Percherons live in pasture-based paddocks with daily turnouts and are introduced to gentle handling from foalhood.

Training follows a calm approach focused on positive reinforcement and building trust at each stage of development. Several of his horses have earned working horse evaluations and gentle temperaments suited to light farm work or parades. Clients note the thoughtful care of winter blankets and balanced diets that support sound hooves and healthy muscle tone.

His farm sits on family land that has hosted draft breeds for generations, preserving traditional care methods. Visits are arranged by appointment to ensure the horses are familiar with visitors and stress is minimized.
