“The respiratory system is a limiting factor in performance of horses. The fact that all horses break some blood vessels in the lung (i.e. bleed or experience exercise-induced pulmonary hemorrhage) during hard exercise shows that this is a system on the edge. Therefore anything that you can do as an owner, rider or trainer to reduce this stress must be beneficial. My view is that the FLAIR® Nasal Strip is a safe, simple and effective way to support the horse’s respiratory system during training and competition.”

"I found that use of FLAIR® Strips on many typical hotter blooded horses helps to keep them on a calmer, less panic-stricken way of going due to helping them breathe easier. I also ride the typical warmblood that puts more exertion in their breath when put into hard work.  FLAIR strips give me confidence that I'm making my horse's job easier.  I have been building even more confidence in FLAIR through use and looking at the continuing research of their already proven product."

Eric Dierks, Trainer

 

"I have used FLAIR® Nasal Strips on all of my horses for the past 5 years.  The Strips are for every horse that runs, none of my horses runs without a Strip."

Marty Wolfson, Trainer of Miesque's Approval, Winner 2006 Breeder's Cup Classic

 

 

 

"My eight year old gelding had a flapper problem starting at age two.  Could do everything except breathe; even after flapper surgery and laser surgery.  In fall of `07 I learned about FLAIR® Nasal Strips.  With this remarkable product, he's more comfortable, which lets him enter the pen without panicking, he performs better and breathes much easier!"

"Every horseman knows it takes many ingredients to create a successful relationship between horse and rider.  That's why whenever I leave the start box, I make sure that each of my horses are accompanied with a FLAIR® Strip to help ensure their very best performance across country.  Whether it's in the ring over show jumps, or out galloping across the terrain, FLAIR Strips have proven to be a paramount ingredient to both my horses' and my success."

Lainey Ashker, Three-Day Event Rider

 

 

 "I have been using  FLAIR® Nasal Strips on my horses for the past few years. I believe FLAIR Nasal Strips are a key component to our success."

"My horse would have nose bleeds ever since I first got him. When scoped by my vet there were no problems in the upper airway.  We tried supplements and herbs but they did not help.  Then I tried FLAIR® and the bleeding stopped, he could breath easier and he recovered faster.  I trust FLAIR Strips and use them on all of my horses."

Yoshi Oiwa, International 3 Day Event RIder, Nagoya, Japan

 

"As a trainer and competitor, I am always looking to maximize my horse's health and performance. I find that using FLAIR® Strips gives my horses that extra benefit in marathon that contributes to our continued success. My current FEI horse tends to be a bit of a panter, and his P/R's have noticably dropped since I started using the FLAIR Strips on him. He has been first or second in every marathon since, including the 2008 USEF National Combined Driving Singles Championships."

Sterling D. B. Graburn, Two time FEI Top Driver Award Winner (North American Challenge); 2006 World Singles Championships; 2005 Res National Champion; 2008 National Champion

 

 

"I have been using FLAIR® Nasal Strips on my horses for several years now; I believe they delay fatigue during the endurance phase and aid recovery of my horse after the cross country”

"I’m prepared to spend the money and use FLAIR® Strips to give my horses every competitive opportunity.”

"I am a great fan of FLAIR® Nasal Strips. Ever since I started using them, I noticed a big difference in the lung capacity of my horses. From now
on I will not only be using them for training and competitions, but on the young horses too."

Candida Crawford, Young International 3 Day Event Rider, Loire Valley, France

 

 

"I tested the Strips in training and was impressed. My horses seemed to recover really quickly. I really believe in the benefit of  FLAIR® Nasal Strips, not only as a sport driver, but also as a veterinarian."

Florian Hoermann, Germany, Veterinarian and Training for World Championship Single Horse Driver in Poland 2008

 

"I love using FLAIR® Strips on my horses. I know that when they finish the cross country course they will recover more quickly. I have found that when I use FLAIR during show jumping my horses are more relaxed. I would recommend FLAIR to any equestrian wanting their horse to perform at its best."

Meaghan Marinovich, 2006 North American Young Rider Team Gold Medal Winner

 

"Tiger Moth has hunted all her life. In 2002 she contracted a virus resulting in palate damage and thickening of the wind. She continued with all activities but lost some speed and found heavy going harder work. Thus, I tried a FLAIR® Nasal Strip and the improvement was very signficicant. Not only could she gallop further but recovered each time so she could continue without being left behind but the next day she was not unduly tired as had been the case prior to using FLAIR Strips."

Susan Archer, UK

 

"When I used a  FLAIR® Strip on my 5 year old thoroughbred mare on the second day of a challenging jumping clinic, the difference was night and day. She had no problems performing, was comfortable, and seemed to enjoy the day. She never got winded. The FLAIR nasal strip kept her comfortable during her strenuous workout and allowed her to perform without any signs of being overtaxed. The FLAIR Strip works!"

L. Murphy, Watertown, MN

 

“'Brushstrokes' is a twenty year old 13h jumping pony owned and ridden by my 10 year old daughter Alice. Recently, they were jumping in a 90 cm show jumping round as part of a 'combined training' competition. The competition was open to children and adults. There were twenty in the class and Alice and Brushy were one of only four to go clear within the time, they finished 5th. Brushy used a  FLAIR® Nasal Strip for the first time that day. The difference in recovery after 14 jumping efforts around a 100 metre x 120 metre arena was very noticeable. Alice and 'Brushy' are going to Hickstead in June and will use FLAIR Strips again."
