A horse at sea and on land (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ashore

'on land' is the definition.
('ashore' can be a synonym of 'on land')

'a horse at sea' is the wordplay.
'at sea' indicates an anagram.
'horse' is an anagram of 'shore'.
'a'+'shore'='ASHORE'

'and' is the link.

(Other definitions for ashore that I've seen before include "Hoarse (anag)" , "On(to) dry land" , "Home for the sailor" , "beach" , "Toward land from the sea" .)
