Wherein to see horses or possibly odd wolves around (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

paddock

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

'wherein to see horses' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'possibly odd wolves around' is the wordplay.
'possibly' indicates anagramming the letters.
'wolves' becomes 'pack' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'around' is an insertion indicator.
'odd' with letters rearranged gives 'ddo'.
'ddo' placed within 'pack' is 'PADDOCK'.

'or' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for paddock that I've seen before include "Enclosure at racetrack for horses" , "enclosed field" , "Where horses are paraded before a race" , "Small field for horses" , "Pen for horses" .)
