Cowboy giving some of his money to a bounder (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

buckaroo

'cowboy' is the definition.
(buckaroo is a kind of cowboy)

'money to a bounder' is the wordplay.
'money' becomes 'buck' (I've seen this before).
'bounder' becomes 'roo' (short for kangaroo, something which bounds).
'buck'+'a'+'roo'='BUCKAROO'

'giving some of his' is the link.
I am not very happy about this link. Some or all of it may be part of another bit of the clue.

(Another definition for buckaroo that I've seen is " cowboy".)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
