Mae Goggans, riding instructor at Carousel O Breeds in Montevallo, Alabama

Carousel O Breeds is proud to feature profiles on their staff members, so you can get to know them a little better.  Our first feature is on one of our riding instructors, Mae Goggans …

Mae Goggans, 25 years old, is originally from Alabaster, Alabama, and currently resides in Columbiana, Alabama. She is a Dental Assistant at Medplex Pediatric Dentistry for Dr. Baker Chambliss in Hoover, Alabama.

Her hobbies include crafts, candle making, boating, side-by-side riding, fishing, cooking, volunteering, and most importantly, riding horses. Her love of horses started at an early age. She grew up riding her uncle’s horses. At the age of 12, she finally got one of her own. From that point on, she has become a strong and caring horsewoman.

Some of her accomplishments and qualifications in the horse industry include:

  • 2006 – 2007 Shelby County 4-H Horse Club president
  • 2008 Alabama Junior Rodeo Association member
  • 2007 Alabama 4-H State Saddle Seat Champion
  • 2007 Miss Horsemanship of Shelby County
  • 2009 Alabama High School Rodeo Association member

  • 2015 Birmingham Dressage and Combined Training Association Western Dressage Highpoint Champion
  • 2016 Sanctuary Cowboy Church 3D Barrel Champion
  • 2016 Barrels, Heels, & Horns Benefit 4D Barrel Champion and Pole Bending Champion

Be sure to come by Carousel O Breeds to meet Mae and sign up for riding lessons. We’re quite certain you’ll be pleased with her skill level and the care which she takes with both horse and rider.
