Comments on the clue
1.Don't quite see how this works other than the 'simple' part
2.Probably pretty universally an unseen translation! Fiendish.
3.Three obscure connections make this unsolvable
4.Highly ingenious, but, though "horse" is an obscure synonym for "translation", I feel that, in the clue, too much is being asked of the word
