Sound made by horse shedding weight at the start, or another equine (5)
I believe the answer is:
hinny
'equine' is the definition.
(I know that hinny is a type of equine)
'sound made by horse shedding weight at the start or another' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'horse' could be 'h' (synonyms) and 'h' is found in the answer.
'at' could be 'in' (synonymous in some cases - eg at school, in school) and 'in' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'ny' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
