Crossword Genius

Took horse round in this? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rodeo

'this?' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'took horse round' is the wordplay.
'took horse' becomes 'rode' (rode a horse).
'round' becomes 'o' (round can mean a round object).
'rode'+'o'='RODEO'

'in' is the link.

(Other definitions for rodeo that I've seen before include "stock venue?" , "A bunch of cowboys, showing" , "Wild West show" , "Exhibition of cowboy skills" , "Mounted exhibition" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
