Of a horse, a shoe? (7)
I believe the answer is:
trainer
'a shoe?' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
I don't understand the rest of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for trainer that I've seen before include "Running shoe" , "one might put one's foot in it" , "Coach; shoe" , "Plimsoll or sneaker" , "Terrain (anag.)" .)
