arabella

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

'suitable name for a fine horsewoman?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'name for a fine horsewoman?' is the wordplay.
'name' becomes 'Ara'.
'for' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'a fine horsewoman?' becomes 'bella' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'ara'+'bella'='ARABELLA'

Can you help me to learn more?
