wranglers

Horses need them

Wranglers are people who wrangle—who herd, manage, or handle animals, especially horses on a ranch.

The term extends to anyone who manages difficult things or people: a celebrity wrangler keeps talent on schedule, a data wrangler cleans messy datasets.

Wranglers is also a brand of jeans associated with Western wear.
