Achieve Equine, LLC, makers of FLAIR® Equine Nasal Strips and distributors of VIP Equestrian™ Saddle Pads and Iconic Equestrian™ Saddle Pads, has renewed their longstanding partnership with the National Barrel Horse Association (NBHA) to support the growing barrel horse industry. In partnership since 2009, Achieve Equine looks forward to sharing educational materials to best promote equine respiratory health and maintaining a healthy back to NBHA members.
Equine respiratory health is extremely important in horses of all levels of barrel racing. As horses can only breathe through their nose, FLAIR Strips provide many benefits that include breathing easier, reducing fatigue, conserving energy, recovering faster, and reducing Exercise Induced Pulmonary Hemorrhage, or EIPH. By using FLAIR Strips during intensive Exercise, horses at any level will be protected.
“The NBHA team is wonderful to work with and we appreciate our years of partnership with NBHA. Growing up, I participated in NBHA events and appreciate how the divisional format introduced by NBHA benefits competitors. We look forward to working with NBHA again this year,” says Achieve Equine Director of Operations, Hanna Hartman.
Achieve Equine Representative Team FLAIR™ member Samantha Stackhouse will attend the NBHA Youth & Teen World Championships from July 25 – July 30 in Perry, GA, and the NBHA Open & Senior World Championships from October 30 – November 5 in Perry, GA. She will be at a table near the warm-up arena. Competitors will be able to stop by and visit with Samantha for FLAIR Strips application tips and more.

About VIP Equestrian Saddle Pads: A half pad at only 8mm thick, VIP Equestrian Saddle Pads provide superior impact protection for the horse’s back. VIP™ Pads are made with VEteq™, a proprietary viscoelastic polymer – not a gel. With over 50 years of use in human health care, VEteq is the universal gold standard for pressure protection. It does not leak, flow, or bottom out under pressure. The unique Bobble™ surface of the VIP Pad alleviates pressure points and evenly distributes weight. Placed above or below a traditional saddle pad, the VIP is designed to complement – not alter – a correctly fitted saddle. It is hypoallergenic, bacteriostatic, easy to clean and is not sticky. Available in multiple sizes and colors. Visit https://vip-equestrian-na.com to learn more and shop today.
