Burden right for an equine tradesman (7)
I believe the answer is:
saddler
'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" .)
