Horse maybe born to give a cowboy a start? (6)
I believe the answer is:
bronco
'horse' is the definition.
(bronco is a kind of horse)
'born to give a cowboy a start?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
an anagram of 'born' is 'bron' which is within the answer.
The remaining letters 'co' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'maybe' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for bronco that I've seen before include "Untamed mustang" , "Wild bucking horse" , "Wild horse of the western US" , "Half-tamed horse used in rodeos" , "Untamed horse (US)" .)
