Goes on horse in Kalahari desert (5)

I believe the answer is:

rides

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

'goes on horse' is the definition.
'rides' can be an answer for 'goes' (riding is a kind of going). I am not certain of the 'on horse' bit.

'in kalahari desert' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates a hidden word.
'RIDES' is hidden in the letters of 'kalahari desert'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for rides that I've seen before include "Dries out for vehicle journeys" , "journeys by bike?" , "Theme park features" , "Dries up and travels" , "Travels on something" .)
