Better breathing, better performance
Support the Breath Behind Every Stride
Every tenth of a second counts in the arena, and your horse's ability to breathe efficiently can be the difference between a winning run and a missed check. Horses are obligate nasal breathers, meaning 100% of their air intake happens through the nose, making it the first and most critical point in the respiratory chain. Even small increases in nasal resistance raise the work of breathing and rob locomotor muscles of oxygen. FLAIR® Equine Nasal Strips are clinically proven to reduce that resistance, lower the work of breathing, and decrease the severity of exercise-induced pulmonary hemorrhage (EIPH) — so your horse can dig deeper, recover faster, and bring everything to every run.
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
Safe & Legal
Drug free and permitted in most disciplines

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.
Clinically proven in 9 peer-reviewed studies
