Equestrian discipline is habit coming with time (8)

I believe the answer is:

dressage

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

'equestrian discipline' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'habit coming with time' is the wordplay.
'habit coming' becomes 'dress' (I've seen this before. I am not sure about the 'coming' bit.).
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'time' becomes 'age' (age is a kind of time).
'dress'+'age'='DRESSAGE'

'is' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for dressage that I've seen before include "Part of equestrian event" , "Equestrian performance" , "Horse-training" , "Method of horse training" , "Equestrian manoeuvres" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
