Perhaps ride a lot, being well-made (8)

I believe the answer is:

tailored

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

'well-made' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives. Maybe you can see an association between them that I don't see?

'perhaps ride a lot' is the wordplay.
'perhaps' indicates anagramming the letters.
'ride'+'a'+'lot'='ridealot'
'ridealot' with letters rearranged gives 'TAILORED'.

'being' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for tailored that I've seen before include "Fitted to requirements" , "Made to measure for idolater" , "Adjusted" , "Fitted, well-cut" , "made-to-order" .)
