Money for a horse (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

amount

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

'money' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to property as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?

'a horse' is the wordplay.
'horse' becomes 'mount' (mount is a kind of horse).
'a'+'mount'='AMOUNT'

'for' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for amount that I've seen before include "Add up or be equivalent to" , "value" , "Size" , "Supply" , "Measure, quantity" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail and The Guardian.
