stock horse
Cattle-working equine partner
A stock horse is a horse bred and trained for working livestock, particularly cattle.
The term appears most often in Australian English, where it names a specific breed developed for mustering on large stations.
In American usage, stock horse describes any horse suited for ranch work—quick, agile, and responsive to rider commands.
