horse trough

Stable water container

A horse trough is a long, narrow container filled with water for horses and other livestock to drink from.

Traditionally made of wood, stone, or metal, troughs were once common fixtures in towns and along roads.

The term now often appears in rustic or historical contexts: The old horse trough had been converted into a planter.
