'horses?' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both animals as well as being plural nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'lends gig tailored' is the wordplay.
'tailored' is an anagram indicator (the letters are customised ).
'lends'+'gig'='lendsgig'
'lendsgig' anagrammed gives 'GELDINGS'.

'for' is the link.
