Performer rode off (4)

I believe the answer is:

doer

'performer' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'rode off' is the wordplay.
'off' indicates an anagram.
'rode' is an anagram of 'DOER'.

(Other definitions for doer that I've seen before include "Active person" , "Person of action" , "Active type" , "Martha?" , "energetic person?" .)

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