A career in racing was always on the table for Danielle, after fostering a love of horses from a very young age.

She was guided in her passion by her late father and horseman, Lewis Seib, who was foreman for Brian Mayfield-Smith when defeating Tommy Smith for the Sydney Premiership. When Lewis passed away unexpectedly in 2017, Danielle was thrust into the training ranks earlier than expected, making a quiet start to her new profession whilst completing University studies.

This quiet start was short-lived, however, after shifting training bases to Goulburn, Danielle quickly notched together dual Highway wins with enigmatic AssualtnBathory. Her team has continued to expand since then, currently working 15 horses with a current season strike rate of above 20% winners to runners.

Danielle fostered her broad knowledge of the industry from the ground level up, with hands on experience in stud work, yearling preparation and sales, breaking-in and pre-training operations, freelance trackwork and riding official trials. This extensive riding background enables Danielle to ride majority of her own trackwork, gaining an invaluable feel for the horse.

Danielle delivers a hands-on and individualised training style complemented by her partner, Aaron Day. A horseman in his own right, Aaron hails from one of Australia’s most successful harness racing families and is a competent farrier that provides specialised farriery where required. Together they are achieving results that speak for themselves, with dedication and ambition aplenty.
