Burden right for an equine tradesman (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

saddler

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

'an equine tradesman' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'burden right' is the wordplay.
'burden' becomes 'saddle' (synonyms).
'right' becomes 'r' (common abbreviation).
'saddle'+'r'='SADDLER'

'for' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for saddler that I've seen before include "Maker of horse's equipment" , "One makes leather goods for horses" , "he'll offer you a seat" , "I'll make seat" , "Maker of seats for riders" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
