How good would it have been to be a rubber necker there and in a loud Texas drawl to have sung out "In Texas, they use a horse and a rope, and tie his feet in a couple of seconds, but, I admire your gumption officer"!

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia 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.[3]

The old double decker buses.....they should never have got rid of them.
