Animals making work for shoers (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

horses

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

'animals' is the definition.
(I have seen 'Domesticated animals' mean 'horses' so perhaps 'animals' could also mean 'horses')

'work for shoers' is the wordplay.
'shoers' anagrams to 'HORSES'.
Though, I am unsure how this is indicated.

'making' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for horses that I've seen before include "Steeds" , "Hoofed mammals (which go with 19 4)" , "Domesticated animals" , "Equine animals" , "''If wishes were . . . . . ., beggars would ride''" .)
