Grey, perhaps, she's a mother again (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

mare

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

'grey perhaps she's a' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'mother again' is the wordplay.
'mother' becomes 'ma' (Ma is another word for mother or mum).
'again' becomes 're' (prefix meaning 'again').
'ma'+'re'='MARE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for mare that I've seen before include "Nag" , "Horse; lunar sea" , "Female equine animal" , "Female quadruped" , "For classicists, sea" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
