Which horse is off-centre and hairless? (8)
I believe the answer is:
skewbald
'which horse is' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'centre and hairless?' is the wordplay.
'centre' becomes 'skew' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'and' says to put letters next to each other.
'hairless?' becomes 'bald' ('bald' can be similar in meaning to 'hairless').
'skew'+'bald'='SKEWBALD'
'off' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for skewbald that I've seen before include "maybe brown and white" , "patchy" , "Marked with patches of white and a colour" , "Bicoloured creature" , "(Horse) with white and coloured marks" .)
