Stock horse

A cutting horse working a cow
Montana cowboys and their horses, circa 1910.
Adult horse, presumably female, standing behind a baby horse.  The adult horse is palomino, a golden color.  The baby horse is chestnut, a light red-brown color.

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 (320 to 410 kg) and less than 14 hands (56 inches, 142 cm) high.
