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

'english on staff love' is the wordplay.
'english' becomes 'e' (abbreviation).
'on' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'staff' becomes 'rod' (both can mean a stick or cane).
'love' becomes 'o' (love means zero in tennis).
'e' after 'rod' is 'rode'.
'rode'+'o'='RODEO'
