Husky - or another draught animal, we hear (6)
I believe the answer is:
hoarse
'husky' is the definition.
(I know that husky can be written as hoarse)
'animal we hear' is the wordplay.
'animal' becomes 'horse' (type of animal).
'we hear' shows a homophone (sound like).
'horse' is a homophone of 'HOARSE'.
'or another draught' is the link.
I am not very happy about this link. Some or all of it may belong to another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for hoarse that I've seen before include "(Of voice) rough, harsh" , "Ashore (anag)" , "Husky (from cold)" , "Of voice, sounding rough" , "Croaky" .)
