Overview
A popular trend among all equine performance disciplines FLAIR® Nasal Strips 6 Pack offer a unique design and function to support the horse's nasal passages during exercise, improving airflow and oxygen intake by reducing airway resistance. FLAIR® Strips are self-adhesive and drug-free patches that promote optimum respiratory health of equine athletes.
Unlike humans, horses can only breath through their nose, resulting in various levels of nasal tissue collapse during physical exertion. Tissue collapse reduces the size of the airway, forcing the horse to work harder to breathe. Constructed from FDA-approved medical-grade materials, FLAIR® Strips are each composed of three plastic springs that provide the precise level of gentle force needed to support and open the inner nasal passages of the horse.

Additional Information
Healthy horses perform better. FLAIR® Nasal Strips reduce the energy required to take in oxygen, allowing the horse to expend more energy on performance, increasing strength and stamina and minimizing fatigue. Horses using FLAIR® Strips use 5-8% less energy at high speed and during recovery than horses without.
Directions for Use: For best results, FLAIR® Strips should be applied to a clean, dry muzzle about 1.5 inches above the openings of the nostrils 20-30 minutes prior to the beginning of exercise or performance. After workout, remove strip by slowly peeling the corners up and work carefully to the center. Trainers and competitors of all levels of every discipline can use FLAIR® Strips as an integral part of their training, conditioning and performance regimens.
