A horse trough, or watering trough, was an open stone receptacle which provided drinking water for horses.

History

A horse trough stood outside the Palace Saloon in Hill Valley in 1885. The bartender, Chester, told "Clint Eastwood" that this was the only place to get a drink of water at the saloon.

When Dr. Emmett Brown passed out after drinking whiskey on September 7 after losing Clara Clayton and had wake-up juice poured into his mouth by Chester, it is fortunate indeed that the trough was there — bearing in mind the effects of the aforementioned concoction made it necessary for Doc to dunk his head in water immediately afterwards.
