FLAIR® Equine Nasal Strips
FLAIR Strips are veterinarian-developed self-adhesive strips that promote optimum respiratory health of equine athletes at every level of competition. The Strips reduce airway resistance and improve airflow when your horse needs oxygen most.
FLAIR Strips provide benefits for all horses, including both intensively-trained horses and those that exert themselves during occasional weekend competitions or trail rides.
Unlike humans, horses can only breathe through their nose. During exercise when horses begin to breathe hard, the soft tissues overlying the nasal passages are sucked in, reducing the airway diameter. This reduction in diameter causes resistance to airflow into the lungs. The resistance in the nasal passages also causes increased negative pressures within the lung, subjecting the fragile capillary membranes deep in the lungs to the risk of leakage or rupture. This is exercise-induced pulmonary hemorrhage (“EIPH”), often referred to as “bleeding”.
FLAIR Strips were developed by a team of veterinarians interested in protecting the respiratory health of hard-working horses.
The introduction of FLAIR Strips in 1999 created awareness that supporting the nasal passages could improve horses’ breathing and respiratory health. In the nearly twenty years since then, significant university and private clinical research has shown that supporting the nasal passages improves air flow, allowing horses to breathe easier and resulting in:
- reduced fatigue
- quickened recovery
- reduced bleeding
Since then, the Strips have been regularly used for training and competition by world class professional horsemen as well as recreational riders around the world.
FLAIR Strips are a drug-free, simple, cost effective tool for supporting the long-term respiratory health of all equine athletes that perform, in both training and competition, with undaunted enthusiasm and heart. Try FLAIR Strips and experience the benefits for your horse.
