strappers
Big, strong people
Strappers are people who work with straps—typically stable hands who groom and care for horses, handling the leather straps of harnesses and tack.
In Australian and New Zealand English, a strapper specifically tends racehorses.
The word can also mean large, robust people: Those farm boys were real strappers.
