The Popularity of Cowboy Pools, Glamorized Trough Pools & Galvanized Tank Pools Long before Beth Dutton from Yellowstone made hopping into a water trough tank with two bottles of Champagne look effortlessly glamorous, farmers and cowboys already knew the secret of escaping the summer heat (although they were more likely to opt for a beer or sweet tea).
