WHAT IS GAVI EQUESTRIAN?
Gavi Equestrian is the premier performance nutrition service for dedicated equestrian athletes who are looking to optimize their health and performance. My mission is to bridge the gap between nutrition and the equestrian world through a highly individualized and evidence-based approach.
Why choose Gavi Equestrian?
As riders, we often put our horses’ needs before our own. We make sure they get the best care, feed and services to keep them feeling and performing their best. They deserve their teammate to invest in themselves, too.
​
From dedicated amateurs to riders at the top of the sport, I understand your unique nutritional needs and will help you meet them. Nutrition is a powerful and often underutilized tool that can help you increase your energy levels, enhance recovery, and give you that competitive edge.
Whether you're looking for a highly individualized 1:1 coaching program, group coaching with other riders, or a learn-at-your-own-pace online course, I offer programs for every rider.
Each program was designed to help you sustainably fuel and nourish your body so you could reach peak performance, optimize your health, and so you could feel your best in and out of the saddle.

"I reached out to Natalie for help while training for the 2018 Mongol Derby, the longest and toughest race in the world. I wanted to make sure I was getting the most out of my training sessions while preparing for the race as well as how to properly fuel for peak performance during the competition. It was important to me to consult an expert that understood the equestrian athlete’s dietary needs. As a pescatarian, I was also worried I wasn’t getting enough protein for my rigorous training program.
Natalie worked with me one-on-one to create an individualized meal plan that also worked with my training schedule to provide the right nutrients at the optimum time. I could tell Natalie really wanted to help, and she spent a lot of time asking specific questions and planning out a strategy. She also talked me through the completed meal plan and explained why she chose certain recipes, which made it even easier to follow. As a bonus, meals were easy to make and delicious! I would recommend Natalie without hesitation!"
