Fancy riding in gear some time? (8)

I believe the answer is:

dressage

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

'fancy riding' is the definition.
'dressage' can be an answer for 'riding' (dressage is a kind of riding). I am unsure of the 'fancy' bit.

'gear some time?' is the wordplay.
'gear' becomes 'dress' (I've seen this before).
'some time?' becomes 'age' (an age is a period of time).
'dress'+'age'='DRESSAGE'

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for dressage that I've seen before include "Red gases (anag)" , "Equestrian performance" , "Training for competition" , "Horse-training" , "Art of training horses" .)
