That's pretty much the story of the west. Horses are used to round up and work cattle. Most people don't anymore and if they do its for shows or rodeos. There are some pretty good cattle horse still around.

Another Answer:No. Horses are not programmed to herd animals, they have to be taught and trained to do so. Thus they are only good cow horses if they've been trained to "track" and "rate" a bovine or another horse when a human is mounted on them.
