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!

Jessica Maranto
