Horses seen in Basra? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

arabs

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

'horses' is the definition.
(Arab is an example)

'in basra?' is the wordplay.
'basra' can be anagrammed to 'ARABS'.
But, I am unsure how the anagram is indicated.

'seen' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for arabs that I've seen before include "They live mainly in the Middle East and North Africa" , "Fine horses" , "Semitic people in the Middle East and northern Africa" , "Graceful horses" , "eg Saudis" .)
