Some emus tangled with wild equine (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

mustang

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'wild equine' is the definition.
'mustang' can be an answer for 'equine' (mustang is a kind of equine). I am unsure of the 'wild' bit.

'some emus tangled with' is the wordplay.
'some' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue (some of the parts of the word are used).
'MUSTANG' is hidden in the letters of 'emus tangled with'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for mustang that I've seen before include "Small feral horse of the US" , "one running wild" , "Small, half-wild horse of the U.S." , "SW US wild horse" , "Wild horse of the West" .)

I've seen this clue in The Everyman puzzle in The Observer.
