Danielle Aamodt
Danielle became a lifelong equestrian the moment she sat on a horse at 6 years old.
​
Her roots are firmly planted in the barn. After earning a Bachelor of Science in Equine Studies from Centenary University in New Jersey, she began working in show stables throughout New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Florida, and eventually Kentucky where she still resides. Her experiences as a groom, assistant trainer and instructor included a variety of disciplines such as Dressage, Hunter/Jumpers, Driving, with exposure to Eventing and others.
​
While completing her Master’s Degree in Business Administration from Murray State University in Kentucky, Danielle began her work as an Equine & Farm Insurance agent, transitioning her into the business side of the industry. She enjoyed some opportunities to help manage Combined Driving Events in Kentucky and Florida and also traveled overseas with the U.S. Single horse Driving team for FEI Driving World Championships.
​
The culmination of these experiences eventually led to Danielle serving as the Director of Driving for over five years at the U.S. Equestrian Federation (USEF). Among managing national programs, sport rules, Committees, and teams at ten FEI World Championships, one of her top memories was serving as the team leader at the 2018 World Equestrian Games where the U.S. Driving team won a gold medal. Her proudest achievement was opening doors and changing the perspective of the driving membership, which greatly increased the number of entries at competitions.
​
This work inspired the beginning of Enso Equine Services.
Along with her consulting, Danielle has also been an Adjunct Instructor for Post University's Equine Program, teaching courses in Communication for the Equine Professional, Equine Law, Equine Senior Seminar, Equine Industry Business Orientation, and Equine Business Ethics. As a teacher and avid learner, she constantly seeks self development. As an industry advocate, Danielle also proudly serves on the Board of Directors for the American Association of Equine Therapists & Technicians (AAETT).
