About The Team - Aspire Eventing

Molly Wafle
Head FEI Groom

Molly joined Aspire in July of 2021 and quickly became Dani’s head FEI groom where she has traveled all over the US managing Dani and her horses. Molly grew up competing hunters and jumpers in Virginia. After a too long break from horses, she got back to riding and found Volu, who has inspired her to always keep learning. Thanks to this special horse, she found Aspire Eventing.

Julie Colby

Julie joined the Aspire Team in 2014 and has been blessed to be a part of Dani’s vision to provide a facility of professionalism, top-notch horse care and a family-like atmosphere. Serving in a support role in all things both at the farm and on the road, taking care of horses, dogs and people is her passion. As a Colorado native, Julie has loved getting to learn and work in the eventing world and even is hoping to ride an event….soon!

Bethany, Groom

Bethany moved to Colorado from Texas looking for a fresh start away from the heat while continuing her career with horses. She started riding at a young age and at the age of 12 she trained her former 9 month old colt by herself. Since then, she had worked with Andalusians from all stages of life, right from being born to retirement; however, Bethany is looking forward to changing it up with Aspire Eventing’s Warmbloods. Bethany loves providing the utmost care for horses, dogs, cats, and chickens. She is super excited to learn more about the Eventing world with Miss Dani as her mentor. She hopes one day soon she will have her own horse again to work with Miss Dani and train to make an excellent and noble steed.

Carly, Groom

Carly has found a home at Aspire Eventing for many years, she has been training with Dani Sussman since 2018, however, just joined the team as an employee in 2023. She grew up competing hunter/jumpers from a young age but quickly made the switch to eventing. Although taking a step back from the competitive side of the industry, she hopes, with the right horse, to return to it in the future.

Logan Groves, In-House Equine Massage Therapist

Logan Groves, founder of Sol Equine Bodywork, is a certified equine massage therapist. She received her certification from the Rocky Mountain School of Animal Acupressure and Massage and is currently working on advanced bodywork courses and certifications.

From a very early age, Logan recognized the extraordinary strength, wisdom, and compassion of horses and the deep connection she felt with them. Horses became her northern star and filled her life with passion and resilience. She is committed to building a holistic practice that allows her to give these incredible creatures a fraction of the comfort they have provided her throughout her journey.

Logan was lucky enough to begin taking horseback riding lessons at the age of four and has been training with Dani Sussman for the past decade. She grew up with four rescued donkeys, that she adores and considers her best friends, and has a retired thoroughbred, Kingsley, who has completely stolen her heart and is living out his golden years as Logan’s dream come true. She is thrilled to be making a career out of what she loves most and is excited to provide a unique service to the community she has long been a part of.
