cially pulling a trailer! T e glass in the mirror is seamless and really sharp, with no distortion, and just clips onto your existing mirror. T e size is 15.75” wide x 2.75” high and .75” wide. You will not believe it when you use it for the fi rst time because it gives you a 180-degree fi eld of view that lets you see across an entire eight-lane (four in each direction) highway (a standard mirror only has 52 degrees fi eld of vision). As the name implies, it truly does eliminate the blind spots from cars at your side and pass- ing and those coming up from the rear. Aſt er using this mirror, I can never go back! T e cost of the No Blind Spot Rear View Mirror is about $60, and you can fi nd it at www.

COOL CAP AND TARP Truck windows are big and you know how hot it can get in the cab when
you’re parked at a horse camp. I went on the hunt to see if I could fi nd a new type of product to use on the outside to keep the heat down inside, and I was excited to fi nd the Cool Cap™, a heat-blocking cover. T is niſt y product covers your roof and all the glass windows, blocking all
the heat before it gets into the truck. It is made out of a highly refl ective fabric; simply pull it over the cab of your truck and use the soſt hooks to fasten it to the vehicle. On a really hot day in the sun, your truck can get up to 150 degrees or more inside, but the Cool Cap can keep the temp down around 75-80 degrees. T ey also off er a 10’ x 10’ Cool Cap Heat Blocking Tarp to put over the top of your horse trailer to help keep it cooler in the trailer OR over the bed of your truck to keep the bed cooler. When I got into my truck aſt er it had been sit ing in the hot sun for a couple
of hours, I was delighted to fi nd the interior to be amazing pleasant. It really works! T e Cool Cap sells for about $80 and the Tarp for about $60. You can learn more at
