Equestrian equipment found outside entrance to rural path (5)

I believe the answer is:

track

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

'path' is the definition.
(I know that path can be written as track)

'equestrian equipment found outside entrance to rural' is the wordplay.
'equestrian equipment' becomes 'tack' (tack is a kind of equipment. I am not sure about the 'equestrian' bit.).
'found outside' indicates putting letters inside.
'entrance to' indicates taking the first letters.
The first letter of 'rural' is 'r'.
'tack' placed around 'r' is 'TRACK'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for track that I've seen before include "Way" , "path to follow" , "Lines" , "one of a number on record" , "Extract from record" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
