Would "rodeo" not work for the competition?

Wikipedia has no translation for cow ponies: "Seguía la remuda: un grupo de caballos extra para disposición de los jinetes a quienes les eran atribuidos un cierto número de cow ponies."

Working cow horse is a type of competition, known also as reined cow horse, where horses are asked to work a single live cow in an arena, performing specific maneuvers that include circling the cow, turning it in a specified manner, and performing a reining pattern. Horses that can perform these tasks are called "reined cow horses," "cow horses," "stock horses," or "working cow horses." Competition consists of three parts where a horse and rider are judged on their performance in a reining pattern, herd work, and "fence work". Horses are judged on accuracy, timing, and responsiveness, as well as how they handle a single cow and their ability to ride into a herd of cattle and quietly "cut" a cow from the herd.

Reined cow horse events which are "open" to all breeds and held by the National Reined Cow Horse Association (NRCHA).[2] Working cow horse events are also held at breed specific shows, such as at an American Quarter Horse Association[3] or Arabian Horse Association show,[4] ......
One session consists of reining work, where a reining pattern is performed.[2] This is often referred to as the "dry work."[5] *******The other is the cow work, where a single cow is released into the arena and the horse is asked to first hold the cow at one end of the arena (known as "boxing") then run the horse along the rail of the arena, turning it back without the aid of the fence (known as "fencing"). ****** Lastly, the horse maneuvers the cow into the center of the arena and cause the cow to circle in a tight circle in each direction (known as "circling"). ...............

I don't know much about these competitions as I rode English-style for many years (dressage and show-jumping). It depends what you needs, whether it is "reining and cutting" which are two different disciplines within the type of competition called "working cow horse". Tasks include "fence work".
