The United States Eventing Association (USEA) is excited to continue their partnership with Flair, LLC as a Bronze Level Sponsor of the USEA Classic Series. Thanks to their generous support, FLAIR Nasal Strips will be awarded to all Classic Series division winners.
“Flair is pleased to continue our relationship with the United States Eventing Association and our alignment with an organization that places equine welfare and sound horsemanship through continuous education at the foundation of their mission,” says Flair CEO and President, Jim Chiapetta DVM JD. “We salute the USEA for its dedication to the sport of eventing and all of the members who recognize the importance of the science behind the products they use to protect their equine athletes, and we wish them the very best again this year!”
FLAIR Nasal Strips are self-adhesive strips that promote optimum respiratory health of equine athletes at all levels by reducing airway resistance and providing improved airflow when your horse needs oxygen most. Since their introduction at the 1999 Breeder’s Cup races and the 2000 Olympics, FLAIR Strips have been regularly used for training and competition by world class professional horsemen as well as amateur owners around the world.

“The support of the owners of FLAIR Equine Nasal Strips for the popular USEA Classic Series of eventing is a great match,” said USEA CEO Rob Burk. “The traditional long format of the sport is something the USEA feels every eventer needs to experience. A key part of the traditional long format is learning how to properly condition an event horse’s cardiopulmonary fitness. Research has shown that FLAIR Equine Nasal Strips can help equines breathe easier, reduce fatigue, conserve energy, and recover faster.”
