Hi Deborah:
I can't think of a "neat" way of explaining the concept. Perhaps a suggestion would be to maintain the word "cobra" and then offer an explanation (something along the lines below).

The visit begins with a tour around the facilities with views and access into the boxes, the mares’ stables, clinic and tackroom, before going to the indoor arena where to enjoy an exhibition of the best horses and mares, including some dressage, horse carriages, “cobra de yeguas” and a some horse carriage competition show.

**Cobra ~ In Spain mares are shown in groups of 3 or 5 of like type and color with one handler on foot. Much larger cobras have been shown in exhibitions, sometimes controlled by a single horseman, a thrilling spectacle.**
HTH!

: Then it could be "group of matched mares" since the number is not specified.

In Spain, many horse shows are held all over the country throughout the year, and each year in December the best qualifying horses are entered to be selected for the "Champion of Spain". The shows run conformation classes, classes to assess movement, and specialty classes for 'Cobras' of mares. Cobras are a set of mares tied together at the neck with one handler who has control of one of the mares. Cobras are a spectacular site at the horse shows, they come in sets of 3, 5 and even 10. One very famous cobra comprised 21 mares! The idea is that a breeder can display his or her ability to breed a very consistent type of horse. The PRE horses are used in many disciplines. Dressage with High School movements is only one of them.
should you use "Cobra", you could always provide a footnote with an explanation
i.e.
Cobras are a set of mares tied together at the neck with one handler who has control of one of the mares.
