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.
