'a light rein we hear?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'galloping horse with' is the wordplay.
'galloping' indicates an anagram (I've seen this in other clues).
'with' becomes 'w' (abbreviation).
'horse'+'w'='horsew'
'horsew' anagrammed gives 'SHOWER'.

'just' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for shower that I've seen before include "that's revealing?" , "One displaying - short spell of rain" , "One exhibiting" , "Plumbing fixture and brief downpour" , "Person demonstrating" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
