'she's' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'knocking drink back at the galloping nag' is the wordplay.
'knocking' is a reversal indicator.
'drink back' becomes 'ale' (type of beer. I am not sure about the 'back' bit.).
'at' means one lot of letters go next to another (I've seen this in other clues).
'the galloping' indicates an anagram (I've seen this in other clues).
'ale' written backwards gives 'ela'.
'nag' anagrammed gives 'ang'.
'ela' after 'ang' is 'ANGELA'.
