Lively horse (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

steed

'lively horse' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for steed that I've seen before include "Literary term for horse" , "Horse, mount" , "Swift horse" , "Stallion" , "Trusty horse" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald and The Wall Street Journal.
