Our Mission

Here at B Balanced, we value the connection that forms between a horse and its rider. While it takes a village for support, once in the arena or out on the trail, that moment of connection is what makes you two a true team. It’s a moment of poise, of serenity, and as anyone can attest to, a good team makes it look effortless.

That's why our focus is to treat you together - as a team. When we ask our horses to perform for us, we are also asking them to carry us, to be balanced in motion, despite athletic feats, uneven ground, or an especially-persistent fly. In order to better show up for our teammates and maximize our performance, we as riders must also then be balanced on them and within ourselves.

Our mission is to improve performance goals, increase the synergy between a horse and rider, and enhance overall quality of life by helping you and your four-legged family member feel better and move freer. We are proud to provide a quality chiropractic experience and a consistent commitment to the health and wellness of you and yours.

Why Chiropractic?

The purpose of chiropractic care is restore or maintain joint mobility which may also improve nervous system function. Chiropractic adjustments address the joints within the extremities (limbs) and the spine that are not moving properly. These areas of segmental dysfunction are what can cause pain, stiffness, tissue changes, or muscular imbalance. Additionally, the spine houses and protects the spinal cord, which gives it an intimate connection with our entire nervous system through the spinal column and exiting nerve roots. When our joints, especially those between the vertebrae, are able to move better, our nervous system can more clearly communicate with the rest of the body. We use manual adjusting and a combination of other modalities to restore motion and mobility within the joints. This can cause the body‘s systems to function better, which allows us to perform better. When we are able to perform better, we improve our own natural ability to function and respond to the physical challenges that daily life or performance training brings.

Performance doesn’t just refer to sports performance either. Our bodies are natural athletes and we perform every day - you being able to lift that 50 lb. feed bag, or your dog being able to jump in the truck is performance too!

Horses on consistent or strenuous training schedules especially benefit from regular chiropractic care in order restore and maintain flexibility, which helps both achieve and maintain peak performance. Activities such as jumping, sliding stops, repetitive motions, or prolonged collection place additional stressors on the horse’s spine and limbs that can lead to a loss of mobility. Subtle signs may be all that are visible, but chiropractic care can help ensure that your equine athlete maintains their highest level of health.

What can Chiropractic help with?

Our animals can’t tell us when they hurt, so we have to rely on reading their body language and behavior changes. Do you notice any of the following in your four-legged friend?

• Short-striding, minor lameness, or abnormal gaits
• Difficulty chewing or eating
• Muscle spasms or nerve problems
• Decreased mobility
• Difficulty accepting the bit
• Resistance to being ridden, such as girthiness, being cold-backed, or bucking
• Difficulty flexing at the poll
• Stiffness turning one direction, or pulling more on one rein
• Inexplicable decline in performance, such as jump refusals, reduced stamina, or knocking poles/barrels
• Pain or sensitivity when being touched or lifted
• Back, neck, leg, or tail pain
• Difficulty picking up or maintaining leads
• Posture changes
  

While this is not an exhaustive list of signs and symptoms, it should help you be aware of what changes to look for. A chiropractic adjustment may be able to help reduce these symptoms and clear the segmental dysfunction in certain areas. Please discuss with your veterinarian if chiropractic care could be a viable option for your animal.

Importance of Proper Tack Fit

Finding the perfect saddle that fits both the rider and the horse is no easy task. So often however, saddles are mainly fit to the rider’s needs, with less attention being paid to how it actually fits on the horse’s back. This lack of attention can lead to serious problems. Poor saddle fit can lead to back pain, muscle atrophy, lameness, and an overall decline in performance. Girth fit can have a similar affect on a horse’s performance capacity, while also leading to pain and adverse behavior. Pressure points from an ill-fitting girth can lead to muscle sensitivity and inflammation, which can reduce shock-absorption in their front limbs, reduce wither mobility, and restrict contraction of the shoulder girdle musculature. Finally, a horse’s bridle directly affects jaw mobility, poll tension, sensation of the mouth and nostrils.

Since poor fitting equipment is such a common reason for injury and tension, here at B Balanced Chiropractic, a thorough tack analysis is included in every Initial Horse Exam.

Gait Analysis

A horse’s movement should naturally be balanced, loose, and full of rhythmic swing. When a horse is experiencing pain and stiffness, either caused by segmental dysfunction or muscular tension, their natural movement patterns get altered. A thorough gait analysis can give valuable insight into compensatory movement patterns and ultimately the root cause of the issue. Compensatory movement patterns are observed as asymmetries or gait anomalies and these could end up causing performance problems or an increased risk of injury down the line.

Gait analysis is included in all our examinations, since it is such an important tool in identifying the true source of musculoskeletal complaint. By identifying the true source, we can treat the root cause instead of just the symptoms. This helps you and your horse reach your performance goals faster.

Dr. Kati Mosteller, DC

I was born and raised in Southern California, where my love of horses (and all animals) began at a young age. I started riding at six-years old, and went on to compete at a national level in a multitude of disciplines, including Western Horsemanship, Western Pleasure, Hunter Pleasure, Equitation, and Sidesaddle.

My teammate throughout that entire journey was a little bay Arabian, named Bailey. Starting in 2003, Bailey was my walk-trot pony. Then ten years later, we had our last class together at Canadian Nationals where he jogged out of the arena with roses on his neck at the spry young age of 23.

Immediately following that, Bailey and I - along with my newly-acquired Mustang, Bravo - moved to Alabama so that “we” could all attend college. There, I focused all things Equine Science, especially training, management, and equine nutrition. Bailey and Bravo focused on increasing their apples-to-work ratio...

Bravo and I went on to compete in the Mustang Million in Fort Worth in 2013, and then in 2015, I competed in another Mustang Makeover in Georgia.

After graduating, my herd and I moved back to California. As is the plight of many a horsewoman, that herd had now grown by one, and Wallie the Warmblood made the trek back to the west coast with us.

Wallie

Once back in California, I worked for four years starting young horses and training performance horses for competition. My years and success in the show ring made me feel like the next step in my career was to be a horse trainer. However, after some time, I felt called to follow my passions into another aspect of the horse industry. After soul-searching and thorough research, I made the decision to return to school with the intent of specializing in Equine Chiropractic.

That decision brought us all here to Texas, where I now feel incredibly blessed and grateful that I get to combine my years in the competitive horse industry with a knowledge of equine sciences and my love of healing and connection. While working with equine athletes from a training perspective was rewarding, being able to truly help them feel their best and perform better because of it lights my fire.

Bailey

In 2021, Bailey passed away at the age of 31. While he may not physically be in the herd now, he is still the cornerstone of my horse journey, just as he has been since we started all those years ago.

B Balanced Chiropractic serves as a legacy for all the values he shaped in me as we grew up together - dedication, perseverance, heart, and, above all, a deeply-rooted love behind what we do.

It is an honor to carry those on.
