Strands #331
“Stable supply”

Hi Strands fans. This one was pretty taxing, but only because I don't know much about horses. With a theme like "Stable supply", this was only ever going to be about horses.
But despite not having many of the answers on the tip of my tongue, it turns out I knew all of the words. They just took a little effort to extract from the depths of my brain's internal dictionary.
I found CROP along the bottom of the grid first, followed by SADDLE to its right.
Now it was clear about equine matters, I hunted for the word "horse" which I found, but which didn't register. I expanded it to "horseback" which still didn't connect, so made it a bit longer to spell HORSEBACKRIDING and finally get the spangram.
That cordoned off BRIDLE in the top-right corner, and I then found REINS just underneath the middle of the spangram. Below the start of it was SPURS spelt backwards, and that just left HARNESS in the bottom-left corner to complete the puzzle.
