strapper

Big, strong person

A strapper is a large, robust person—someone tall and strongly built.

The word carries a note of admiration: What a strapper she's become.

In horse racing and equestrian contexts, a strapper is a groom who cares for horses, particularly in Australia and New Zealand: The strapper led the horse back to the stables after the race.
