Why cowsled?

What does Cowsled mean? How is it pronounced? And is it something obscene, a sport or something else?

Cowsled is a word created by me and a friend. We were reading a puzzle which gave the word 'sled' and asked where the word 'cow' fits in to make a new word. The answer is 'scowled' but we were convinced 'cowsled' was the real answer. To us, cowsled was either a sleigh shaped like a cow, or someone who is bemused and confused. The latter is the truth, and it is me! I am cowsled!

'Cowsled' is prenounced like 'tousled', with a soft 'l'.
