The Shade Haven looks like a large, chic, black umbrella. It takes about five minutes to set up and can be pulled behind a truck, car or horse. New designs can be ordered with a fly-control system, weather stations and a remote opening and closing option to quickly shutter the shade in high winds.
This shade device has more uses than just as a cattle-cooler. It could also be set up in fields for workers, reducing heat fatigue by shading them from the hot sun.
