whinny

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

'sound' is the definition.
(whinny is a kind of sound)

'horse covered in gorse?' is the wordplay.
'horse' becomes 'ny' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'covered in' says to put letters next to each other (some letters go on top of or cover others).
'gorse?' becomes 'whin' (synonyms).
'ny' after 'whin' is 'WHINNY'.

'from' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for whinny that I've seen before include "animal noise?" , "Gentle or joyful neigh" , "Horse's cry" , "Beastly sound" , "Soft neigh or laugh" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Mail.
