WHAT DOES COW PONY MEAN IN ENGLISH?

cow pony

Stock horse

A stock horse is a horse of a type that is well suited for working with livestock, particularly cattle. The related cow pony or cow horse is a historic phrase, still used colloquially today, referring to a particularly small agile cattle herding horse, a term that dates to 1874. The word "pony" in this context has little to do with the animal's size. though the traditional cow pony could be as small as 700 to 900 pounds and less than 14 hands high. Such horses are characterized by agility, quickness, and powerful hindquarters. They are usually noted for intelligence and "cow sense," having an instinctive understanding of how to respond to the movement of cattle so as to move livestock in a desired manner with minimal or no guidance from their rider. Such horses are used both as working animals on livestock ranches or stations, and are also seen in competition where horses are evaluated on their ability to work cattle.
