Teams go off riding like ladies (4-6)

I believe the answer is:

side-saddle

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

'riding like ladies' is the definition.
The definition and answer are not the same part of speech.

'teams go off' is the wordplay.
'teams' becomes 'sides' (eg football sides).
'go off' becomes 'addle' (eg an egg might addle).
'sides'+'addle'='SIDE-SADDLE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for side-saddle that I've seen before include "Sitting like a woman rider" , "Way of riding in a skirt" , "Style of riding" , "Not astride" , "On horse as some riders" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
