4. Tell us about any breathing issues your horse has (maybe we can help).
My horse was kicked in the throat as a weanling and now develops a lump while he eats and quite some time afterwards. It affects his breathing when I barrel race him and I’ve wanted to use FLAIR strips for some time now it just seems everytime I get the money rounded up to get them, I have a vet bill taking the money. I would absolutely love to win this contest!
I want to use Flair strips to enhance my horses performance!

I want to use FLAIR strips to help my horse be his best on XC

We are eventers! I want to use FLAIR strips to fill my horse’s lungs with magical cross country air to get him to the finish line feeling his best!
1. Barrel Racing
2. We use them because our horses are bleeders – they make all the difference!

2. To ensure that my horses have the best possible respiratory function while galloping and jumping cross country.

Eventing
I use Flair strips on one particular horse who makes a slight noise although deemed 100% fine by vets i want to feel like i am giving him every chance possible for it not to develop into an issue!
I use Flair Strips on my top two barrel racing horses, Joker and Chance. Joker was diagnosed with asthma in March 2011, and Chance bled once last month, so I have been protecting them with Flair Strips ever since and plan to continue this practice especially during the summer 2012 rodeo run when we compete in some big, dusty arenas.
I’m a die hard eventer/fox hunter/cowgirl/dressage rider! I want to use Flair strips to keep my wonderful equine partners breathing and free of EIPH. Wheather we’re working cows, chasing a fox, of saluting at X, I know FLAIR strips will keep my horses going happy and strong no matter what we’re doing! I heard about this fabulous contest on Eventing Nation and I hope you’ll consider me for those 10 great FLAIR strip! Thanks a bunch!
EVENTING! I’ve used flair strips on the past when running a horse at the preliminary level to give her an easier time of running around the course. The first time I used it was on a very long course that was very hilly and twisty. I felt like it gave her an extra boost and she did not get as tired as she would have, and she cooled out much faster too! I think they are a fantastic idea to give our horses more support to do their jobs!

2. I have yet to try them but would love to!
3. I’ve heard great things about them. I know my OTTB would appreciate them on the XC course!
AND, I heard about the contest on Facebook :)
… and I just told my friends on Facebook to enter too!
As the owner of an Intermediate Eventer with a paralyzed arytnoid, maximizing his airflow is paramount. Flair strips a great tool in my arsenal of respiratory enhancements.
Shared on Facebook! Thank you guys for hosting such a generous contest
I am an eventer and I use FLAIR strips to help my horse breathe better on XC and in SJ. I want to continue to use FLAIR strips as we go up the levels and keeping him breathing well becomes more and more important as we go faster for longer. My wonderful coach Lainey Ashker told me about the contest!
PS: I’ve shared on FB!
1. EVENTING
2. I use them on all of my horses for cross country. I can tell a huge difference on the horses that don’t wear them and on the horses that do. I would never ask my upper level horse to gallop out of the box without one. Especially great for those heavier Irish horses :D
I heard about this on Facebook.

I’m an eventer and I use Flair Nasal Strips on my big boy XC because he’s a roarer. I definitely notice a difference in his respiration recovery time and his overall comfort galloping XC!
Retweeted as well :)
I compete in 3-Day Eventing and use it on my horses for Cross Country. There is a major improvement in their recovery and performance when I use Flair strips. Awesome contest and I saw it through facebook!
1) Eventing!
2) I use them to help my horse breath better! She snorts when she gallops so I use FLAIR strips to help open up her nasal cavity! We compete prelim so they really help with the longer, faster gallop to help her get more air!

I am a Barrel Racer, I have used Flair Nasal Strips every run since I was introduced to them by a wonderful lady at the National High School Finals Rodeo in Wyoming, my barrel horse is occasionally prone to nose bleeds, and ever since using them she has not bled once since!

My trainer, a 4 star eventer, advocates the use of Flair Strips for ALL of our XC horses. They give us an advantage and a “leg up” on the competition. Love them!
1. Eventing
2. I use Flair Strips on my TB so he doesn’t get fatigued while on XC and it gives him the best opportunity to do his best!
I heared it on Facebook
Eventing
I’ve used FLAIR Strips on my upper level event horse who tends to make more noise while galloping on cross country. FLAIR Strips helped me make time at intermediate, and my horse had more energy at the end. They are a great product- decreasing lower airway resistance allows her to get oxygen more easily with each breath. I intend to continue using them in the upper levels once I graduated from vet school this spring.
I want to use Flair strips because all the pros use them and I want to give my gelding the opportunity to do his best on XC.
I head about this contest on EN.
As an eventer, I know that it is important to do everything I can to make sure my horse is at the top of his/her game. I retired my last eventer 5 years ago, but I have been bringing along a young prospect that I look forward to competing soon. He gives me everything he has and then some during every training session. When I start conditioning him, I will defiintely have FLAIR there to prep him for his first run. Beginner Novice, or Advanced, I thnk all of our horses deserve the best from us for giving us their best. :)

2. My horse has a narrow air passage and it helps with the recovery time after a long intermediate course.
3. Her constant snoring is keeping me up at night and I need my sleep. ;)
Would love to try them out on my event horse during XC! Have heard great things from my fellow competitors.
I would like to try Flair strips on my 13 yr old TB who has been diagnosed with three breathing issues. He has done a one star in the past but we just want to go Novice!
I heard about this through Eventing Nation! Go Eventing!
I use Flair for my horse who has moderate RAO. It keeps both me and her happy! :-)
Whoops I just shared it “4″ times on Facebook!!!
Eventer …Want to use them for XC so my horses make time with ease and less stress on their breathing…my intermediate always as more gas when he wears his flair stripe. Thx
We use Flair Nasal Strips on our Quarter Horse race horses; mainly the horses that run around the turn (870yds)!!
I also shared your link on Facebook!!
Eventing, I use FLAIR on my preliminary horse, and was able to meet the FLAIR folks at AECs this year. Saw the contest on facebook!
I compete in eventing. I have not used Flair strips yet, but have a new OTTB who I would love to try them on! He is a documented bleeder (as they all pretty much are!), so I figure anything I can do to make his job easier and more comfortable will be appreciated by him. He’s such a good guy he deserves the best.
I need flair strips for when my horse goes cross country at an event!
1. Eventing
2. When I did the T3D in 2009 at the Hagyard Midsouth Team Challenge at the KY HP. FLAIR donated FLAIR Nasal Strips for us to try and gave a lecture on how the horse breaths and what is causing problems in the lungs and how to prevent breathing issues.
They were great! I will defiantly be using them to make breathing easier for my horse when he’s on XC (right now I have a young prospect that has UL potential)
I learned about the contest on Facebook!
I am an eventer and would like to try your flair strips
I’m an eventer and I use FLAIR strips because there is a huge difference in my training’prelim thoroughbred’s recovery time after xc!

I event an Irish sport horse, who is a bit of a heavy breather. I’ve been using flair for the last 3 or 4 years. I find that they help my horse to recover faster, and reduce the “rippling” effect when he is breathing heavy. Love my flair strips!
I am a barrel racer and these strips help my barrel horse get done with our run easier.. I thank you for making these! :)
and i saw this contest on Facebook!

I am a barrel racer. I have never used Flair Strips, but have always wanted to to try them. I want to try them because my horses are older and I think it would help them breathe easier.

We compete in British Eventing and only compete ex race horses that we have retrained ourselves. We currently have novices up to International level. We would love to use FLAIR strips to enable our TB’s to perform at the top of their game in a sport that they love.
When our stallion started bleeding after barrel racing, we researched everything, and nasal strips came up. Everything from EIPH to air way inflammation, to salt retention, and allergens are a factor. We live in a dusty climate, which doesn’t help. We would’ve to try the nasal strips to see help open up his airways when he runs! This in addition to our other treatment plans would be great! Thanks for great contest!
My primary riding discipline is currently dressage but I am hoping to begin some low level eventing next Spring and FLAIR strips are already on the list of items needed before first show.
I barrel race and also team rope just for fun :] I currently do not use Flair Nasal Strips but I’m very interested in them. Would love to try them out! I have heard a LOT of good things about them! I heard about them through Chelsea Tanner :]
I love Flair Strips and my horses do too, especially my 3* eventer. It really helps him maintain good breathing over longer distances and difficult courses.
Eventing! My horse wears a Flair Nasal Strip everytime we leave the startbox! I have noticed a huge difference in his performance on course and recovery after. I heard about this contest through the USEventing website
I Barrel race on a mare that has bled before so I would like to try these.
I event! I heard about this contest through EventingNation.com
1) Eventing!!
2-3) My 2* mare is a bit of a “panter” and the Flair strips have increased her ability to breathe easier while galloping and drastically improved her recovery time. I will not leave the start-box without one on my mare!
found out from eventing nation. I event and love to use flair strips on xc!

1. Training level eventer.
2. I have a 10yo OTTB mare who is a registered ‘bleeder’. In my state, when a racehorse has pulmonary hemorrhage, no matter how mild, they have to be registered and cannot compete for a certain amount of time, there are all sorts of hoops to jump through. Long story short, I know my mare is at risk for pulmonary hemorrhage, I know Flair strips help prevent this, and anything I can do to make my horse more comfortable (and keep her that way) or to increase her performance, I want to do.
I play Polo
I want to increase the performances of my horses

We have TB race horse and I barrel race.
I use Flair nasal strips to improve breating and reduce recovery time
We have TB race horses and I have 2 barrel horses. I posted this on my FB page.

2. I use FLAIR because my horse had tie-back surgery and has trouble breathing while performing. FLAIR has helped her to breathe during shows and lets her relax and enjoy her blue ribbons!

I barrel race, trail ride, chase cows, and just ride! I have a gelding who recovers slow after he runs, and i’ve been noticing some symptoms that he may be a bleeder, i need to have him scoped but i did have the opportunity to used a flair on him once and i think that he recovered a ton better from his run and i would really like to used them more often to really put them to the test!
I think that they would help out a few of my other horses as well as the one I need to check for bleeding. This would be a great way to get me started!
I compete in Three Day Eventing at training level, and I am looking forward to doing a Training Three Day (long format) next season! I would love to use Flair Nasal Strips to improve my mare’s performance during cross country, as well as to make her more comfortable and to make cooling out easier.

I use Flair Strips on my barrel racing horse so she doesn’t run out of air before the end of our run.
I shared the contest on my FB page, so others can benefit with the improved breathing availlable with using FlaIr Strips.
i use flair strips to help my horses breathing works a treat
I use Flair Strips on my barrel horses. My best barrel horse is a bleeder and after using Flair Strips I no loner have to use lasix on her. Thank you Flair Strips for helping my horse perform to her best ability.

i barrel race and i think Flair Strips would help my horses breath better. Some of my friends use them and they swear by them.
I have seen your ads advertising Flair Strips in my Thoughbred Times and Bloodhorse since my discipline is in Thoroughbred racing. I would love to try them on one of my horses that has a tendency to displace or flip his palate. I think that the Flair Nasel Strips would really help him out in his next start. Thanks Angie
