Pigs and horses, maybe, heading off (7)
I believe the answer is:
rotters
'pigs' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being plural nouns.
Perhaps you can see a link between them that I can't see?
I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for rotters that I've seen is " Contemptible folk".)
I've seen this clue in The Times.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
