Natalia Neneman fell in love with horseback riding as a child growing up in Park City, Utah. Both she and her late father, Jay Gurmankin, a racehorse owner, shared the same passion and love for equestrian sports. He encouraged Natalia to ride and chase her dream of training and competing at the upper levels of eventing. 
Natalia was Hawley Bennett’s working student from 2008-2012; during this time, she had the incredible opportunity to groom for Hawley at the 2010 World Equestrian Games, the 2011 Pan-American Games, the 2012 London Olympics, Rolex, Badminton, and Burghley. After the 2012 Olympics, Natalia moved to the east coast to train with and work for Buck Davidson. She worked for Buck from 2012-2016, learning the ins and outs of a large-scale eventing program, and continued to hone her skills of managing horses of every level. She gained invaluable experience and knowledge that she will continue to practice for the rest of her life.
In 2016, Natalia set out on her own and founded Natalia Neneman Eventing, based in Ocala, Florida. Building on the skills she learned from Hawley and Buck, she has competed through the CIC3* level. Natalia strives to continue her own educational and competitive careers while helping other riders achieve their goals, creating a positive and fun educational environment for every horse and rider.
