'lucky' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'hose shore off' is the wordplay.
'off' is an anagram indicator.
'hose'+'shore'='hoseshore'
'hoseshore' anagrammed gives 'HORSESHOE'.

'that's meant to be' acts as a link.
This may not be correct. Some or all of it may belong to another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for horseshoe that I've seen before include "Lucky item?" , "Steed's footwear" , "Plate nailed to equine hoof" , "What a farrier provides" , "Shore hose (anag.)" .)
