Goes on horseback (5)

I believe the answer is:

rides

'goes on horseback' is the definition.
(rides a horse)

This is all the clue.

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

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
