Horse's food supply began so oddly (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

nosebag

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'horse's food' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't see how they can define each other.

'began so oddly' is the wordplay.
'oddly' indicates anagramming the letters (letters in an odd order).
'began'+'so'='beganso'
'beganso' with letters rearranged gives 'NOSEBAG'.

'supply' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for nosebag that I've seen before include "Horse's feed container" , "Container for a horse's dinner" , "Suspended food supply" , "Horse fodder holder" , "Feeder strapped on horse" .)
