FLAIR Equine Nasal Strips

Your horse may LOOK calm after a ride… but their body is in overdrive 🔥

Following exercise, heart rate, respiratory rate, and temperature must all return to baseline. At the same time, muscles are restoring oxygen levels and clearing metabolic byproducts. This process relies heavily on efficient breathing, as every breath plays a role in rebalancing the system. 🌬️

Stop thinking of FLAIR® Strips as a “cross country thing.”

From the gallop track to the stadium ring, airflow plays a critical role in performance. While cross country demands sustained effort and maximum oxygen intake, show jumping requires precision, power, and quick recovery between efforts.

As intensity rises, so does the effort required to breathe. Increased resistance in the nasal passages means more energy spent on breathing, and less available for jump ex*****on, adjustability, and maintaining rhythm to the last fence.

FLAIR® Equine Nasal Strips are clinically proven to support the nasal passages and reduce airway resistance during exercise. So whether you’re out on course or in the ring, your horse can stay efficient, focused, and consistent.
