Qualification as cowboy, say? (5)
I believe the answer is:
rider
'qualification' is the definition.
(qualification or condition in a contract)
I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for rider that I've seen before include "Contract clause" , "One who's got up" , "Equestrian added by a jury?" , "Horseman or cyclist" , "in the dressing room before the show?" .)
