Nora's wild horse (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

roan

'horse' is the definition.
(I know that roan is a type of horse)

'nora's wild' is the wordplay.
'wild' is an anagram indicator.
'nora' with letters rearranged gives 'ROAN'.

(Other definitions for roan that I've seen before include "Reddish-coloured horse" , "Bay spotted" , "Two-colour horse" , "Horse with a brownish coat sprinkled with grey" , "Horse with a coat of mixed colour" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
