Gather together in circle, on horseback (5,2)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

round up

'gather together' is the definition.

'circle on horseback' is the wordplay.
'circle' becomes 'round' ('round' can be a synonym of 'circle'**).
'on horseback' becomes 'up'.
'round'+'up'='ROUND-UP'

'in' is the link.

(Other definitions for round up that I've seen before include "herd" , "Gather together" , "gathering" , "collection of data" , "marginally ahead in boxing bout?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
