EquiBreathe vs. Traditional Nasal Strips – What’s the Difference?

EquiBreathe vs. Traditional Nasal Strips – What’s the Difference?

If you’ve spent time around barrel racing, you’ve probably seen horses wearing nasal strips on race day.

But not all nasal strips are built the same.

Let’s break down the difference between EquiBreathe Nasal Patches and traditional nasal strips in a simple, respectful way, and why more Australian riders are choosing EquiBreathe.


Why Horses Wear Nasal Strips

When horses work hard, the soft tissue inside their nasal passages can collapse, restricting airflow.

✔️ Less airflow = less oxygen
✔️ Less oxygen = reduced performance and slower recovery

Nasal strips help hold the airways open to improve breathing and keep airflow strong during intense work.

✔️ Designed for performance horses like barrel racers, ropers, and sport horses
✔️ Easy to apply quickly—even when you’re in the rush of competition
✔️ Holds firm through sweat and movement
