Happen support for horse will lead to benefit (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

behoof

'benefit' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'happen support for horse' is the wordplay.
'happen' becomes 'be'.
'support for horse' becomes 'hoof'.
'be'+'hoof'='BEHOOF'

'will lead to' is the link.

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
