Blame fracture for mount's pace (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

amble

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

'mount's pace' is the definition.
'amble' can be an answer for 'pace' (I've seen this before). I am unsure of the 'mount's' bit.

'blame fracture' is the wordplay.
'fracture' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen 'fractured' mean this).
'blame' with letters rearranged gives 'AMBLE'.

'for' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for amble that I've seen before include "Make slow progress" , "Wander gently along" , "Mosey (along)" , "Swan" , "Walk in a leisurely way" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
