Application & Removal Instructions

POSITION IS KEY

FLAIR® Equine Nasal Strips should be positioned so that the top shape memory support overlies where the naso-incisive notch begins.

For most horses, this position is approximately two finger widths above the horse’s nostrils.

APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS 

For best results, apply the Strips 30 minutes prior to any exercise, riding or other activity that might cause the horse to sweat. 

REMOVAL INSTRUCTIONS 

Peel gently, but firmly from the top corner toward the middle.

The adhesive may cause slight loss of hair, as experienced with normal shedding.

Troubleshooting 

DOS & DON'TS

Additional adhesives may be harmful and are NOT recommended. 

FLAIR Strips have a gentle adhesive that is developed for the health and safety of the horse.

Don't touch the adhesive prior to applying the Strip.

Touching the adhesive will reduce the Strip's ability to stick to your horse.

Don't shave the horse’s nose prior to applying.

Don't remove by pulling up or down.

TIPS ON CLEANING THE NOSE

• Use a clean, dry cloth, piece of vet wrap, or paper towel to remove dirt and oil prior to applying. DO NOT use water, oil, or gels on the application area.

• If there are oils on the hair, wash the nose with a mild dish soap. Let the nose dry completely before applying the Strip.

HOT & HUMID WEATHER 

In humid conditions, wiping the nose with isopropyl alcohol improves adhesion. Let the nose dry completely before applying the Strip.

Pro Tip: Our FLAIR™ Prep Pack contains isopropyl alcohol wipes that are convenient and easy to use.

COLD WEATHER

If it's chilly outside, place the Strip inside your jacket for 5-10 minutes before applying to allow it to warm up to at least room temperature.

Storage 

STORE FLAIR STRIPS AT ROOM TEMPERATURE

Strips that are exposed to extreme heat or cold may damage the medical-grade adhesive and not adhere properly.
