Ross

horse

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

'another creature' is the definition.
'horse' can be an answer for 'creature' (type of animal). I am unsure of the 'another' bit.

'husky say' is the wordplay.
'husky' becomes 'hoarse' (synonyms).
'say' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue.
'hoarse' sounds like 'HORSE'.

'or' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for horse that I've seen before include "Quadruped; cavalry" , "what has croup in the end?" , "Vaulting --; -- sense" , "eg Shire" , "Animal providing" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
