stablehands
Barn staff members
Stablehands are workers who care for horses in a stable—feeding, grooming, mucking out stalls, and exercising the animals.
The term evokes traditional equestrian settings: racing stables, riding schools, or country estates.
The stablehands arrived before dawn to prepare the horses for the morning workout.
