Leading gear for Arab wedding, we're told (6)
I believe the answer is:
bridle
'leading gear for arab' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'wedding we're told' is the wordplay.
'wedding' becomes 'bridal' (bridal is a kind of wedding).
'we're told' shows a homophone (sound like).
'bridal' is a homophone of 'BRIDLE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for bridle that I've seen before include "a bit? That's part of it" , "Horse restraint" , "Take offence" , "Bit and reins, etc" , "Rein" .)
