EVERY EVENT HORSE IS A RESPIRATORY ATHLETE
It's not about the level. It's about the effort.
Eventing asks your horse to be three athletes in one: the collection of dressage, the speed and endurance of cross-country, and the power and precision of show jumping. Every effort requires energy, and as the work increases, so does the demand on the respiratory system.
That respiratory load isn’t limited to the upper levels. Fitness, conditioning, terrain, footing, weather and the individual horse all affect how demanding an effort is. FLAIR® Equine Nasal Strips support the soft tissues over the nasal passages to reduce airway resistance and the work of breathing, helping horses at every level perform at their best.
You prepare the whole horse for competition. Give every breath the same support.
Breathe Easier
Supports soft tissue of nasal passages to reduce airway collapse
Protect Lung Health
Reduce exercise induced pulmonary hemorrhage (EIPH).
Recover Faster
More efficient respiratory cooling decreases recovery time
Conserve Energy
Less work to breathe means more oxygen for the muscles
Reduce Fatigue
Less airway resistance means horses can work longer and harder

Why Breathing Matters
Every breath powers performance. Supporting the horses' nasal passages during intense exercise reduces airway resistance, lowers the work of breathing and allows horses to perform at their best.
Backed by Science
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.
