Performance Starts at the Nose
Why Breathing Matters
Every breath powers performance. Supporting the horses' nasal passages during intense exercise can reduce airway resistance, lower the work of breathing and allow horses to perform at their best.
What Should a Nasal Strip Do?
A functional nasal strip should:
When Respiratory Health Matters, Validation Matters
Many equine products rely on testimonials and marketing claims. Few are supported by research. FLAIR® Equine Nasal Strips have been evaluated in independent university studies for over two decades. Research has demonstrated that FLAIR Strips:
Support the Nasal Passages
Support soft tissue to reduce airway collapse during exercise
Reduce Airway Resistance
Open airway allows horses to move large amounts of oxygen
Reduce Respiratory Effort
Lowers the work of breathing so more oxygen reaches the muscles
Reduce Severity of EIPH
Lower negative inspiratory pressure reduces lung bleeding
Increased Time-to-Fatigue
Less airway resistance means horses can work longer and harder

How FLAIR® Strips Work
The Challenge
During intense exercise, soft tissues in the nasal passages collapse during inhalation, narrowing the airway when the horse needs oxygen most.
The Support
FLAIR® Strips provide a spring-like tension that gently supports the nasal passages, reducing the soft tissue collapse.
The Result
By supporting the airway, the horse breathes air in with less effort — reducing lung stress and conserving energy for the finish.
