Water Troughs and hitching posts

You guys ever think of adding Water Troughs and hitching posts.
They dont have to bein front of every building but maybe in front of Inns or just one large general one in each town.
Maybe have it so you can target the trough and post.When you do you get a message to eaith water,tie or untie a horse.Also a Player can fill their canteen there if they want.

Just an Idea

"...can fill their canteen there if they want."

Ever seen the slime that builds up in a horse trough. Horses drool and such when they drink. I don't know about filling a canteen in it. Well, maybe a druid would.

Hey, I'd drink out of a trough if I was thirsty enough.

And, between a clean(ish) trough, and a well with a drowned rat, I'll take the trough any day.

I did drink out of a trough once, on a long hot solo backpack in Wyoming when I misjudged my water.

And there should be a save for disease, like there is for the raw meat.

I was wondering about this myself and can't believe I never thought to post anything.  I'm always looking for places to tie off my horse and ox that have water nearby.  Expecially the ox, as the poor thing gets left alone for very long periods of time.

Good ideas!

On a side note: Please keep in mind the horses are a relatively new addition to the world. A lot of the world systems have been implemented in "essential" ways and most lack the "simple conveniences". Suggestoins like these *points to top post* are excellent examples of simple features that would do a lot for the RP and immursion level of the world. Need More Suggestions Like These. *grins*
