A rider who ran homes oddly (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

horseman

'a rider' is the definition.
(someone riding a horse)

'ran homes oddly' is the wordplay.
'oddly' indicates an anagram.
'ran'+'homes'='ranhomes'
'ranhomes' anagrammed gives 'HORSEMAN'.

'who' is the link.

(Other definitions for horseman that I've seen before include "mounted rider" , "Equestrian" , "Jockey" , "Male rider" , "(Skilled) rider" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
