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.

Nasal Breathers Horses are obligate nasal breathers, so all air passes through the nasal passages.
Restricted Airway The nasal passages are the narrowest part of the airway, especially during exercise.
Efficient Breathing Decreased airway resistance lets the lungs deliver more oxygen with less effort.
Power Performance Less effort spent breathing leaves more energy for the muscles that drive performance.

What Should a Nasal Strip Do?

A functional nasal strip should:

Support the nasal passages
Reduce airway resistance
Reduce respiratory effort
Be supported by research

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

1

The Challenge

During intense exercise, soft tissues in the nasal passages collapse during inhalation, narrowing the airway when the horse needs oxygen most.

2

The Support

FLAIR® Strips provide a spring-like tension that gently supports the nasal passages, reducing the soft tissue collapse.

3

The Result

By supporting the airway, the horse breathes air in with less effort — reducing lung stress and conserving energy for the finish.
