Answer: that is kind of true but...

Explanation: People who ride horses are not called cowboys; they're called equestrians. However, cowboys acquire their name not just because they tend to cattle, and make cattle their livelihood. The name is a calque of Spanish vaquero, which itself derives from vaca 'cow'.
