That of regular riding? (5)
I believe the answer is:
habit
'riding?' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
I can't explain the rest of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for habit that I've seen before include "Custom, wont" , "Custom; riding dress" , "Monk's robe or repetitive action" , "Usual practice; garment" , "Regular practice" .)
