Strapper

A strapper is a British English term, mostly used in Australia, for a person holding a position looking after racehorses.

The duties range from cleaning out the stables and yards, feeding, grooming and rugging horses, plus saddling horses for track-work and races, hence the name.

[1] Relevant vocational qualifications include Horse Care and Saddlery.

[2] In North America, these tasks are lumped into the general job category of "groom," though saddling may be a task assigned to more experienced grooms while stall cleaning and walking hot horses are tasks assigned to the less-experienced stablehand.
