Tackle with difficulty, crossword finally dispatched (7)
I believe the answer is:
harness
'tackle' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
I can't explain the rest of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for harness that I've seen before include "Arrangement of straps for a horse" , "Control - some tack" , "Horse's tackle" , "Couple" , "Control and use (resources)" .)
