❓ Have you ever heard the phrase “no foot, no horse” ❓
Well here at Achieve Equine, maker of FLAIR® Strips, we believe “no lungs, then no feet needed”‼️
While it’s true horses wouldn’t be very functional without feet, there is no question that they couldn’t exist without their lungs 🫁 !
Horses are obligate nasal breathers, meaning they can only breathe through their noses during intensive exercise. They take in air through their nose, which then travels down the trachea into their lungs. From there, the air travels into the alveoli and oxygen diffuses across the pulmonary capillary membrane to the red blood cells in the pulmonary capillaries to be transported throughout the body.
When the oxygen-rich blood reaches the muscles, the oxygen is converted into ATP which is the energy that powers exercise. 🤯
One thing that makes horses super athletes is their highly efficient transfer of oxygen from the alveoli to the red blood cells to maximize energy utilization.
To get the oxygen to the muscles, it first has to move into the nostrils and through the nasal passages, the narrow part of the horse’s upper respiratory system.
That’s why we created — to make breathing easier for your horse.
By supporting the tissues overlying the nasal passages during intensive exercise, FLAIR Strips benefit all horses ,even those with the biggest hearts and greatest capacity to use the oxygen by improving the efficiency of air flow to the lungs.
