Cowboy really relates to the cattle drives that they took part in. They rode horses to maintain the cattle in a controlled line as they moved the steers from one place to another. The term became generalized later on to cover anyone living in the Old West.

I know your punch line is related to 'cow boys' . One can not ride a cow to heard in the cattle so they ride a horse, that is how the name came together to make one cowboys.

A cowboy (Spanish vaquero) tends cattle and horses on cattle ranches in North and South America. The cowboy is normally a ranch hand in charge of the horses and/or cattle, as is the wrangler. In addition to ranch work, some cowboys work in and participate in rodeos, and many cowboys work only in the rodeo..
