Day hire arranged for a rural excursion (7)

I believe the answer is:

hayride

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

'a rural excursion' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'day hire arranged' is the wordplay.
'arranged' indicates an anagram.
'day'+'hire'='dayhire'
'dayhire' with letters rearranged gives 'HAYRIDE'.

'for' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for hayride that I've seen is " good trip".)

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