Some ranchero I considered very brave (6)
I believe the answer is:
heroic
'very brave' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'some ranchero i considered' is the wordplay.
'some' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue (some of the parts of the word are used).
'HEROIC' is hidden within 'ranchero i considered'.
(Other definitions for heroic that I've seen before include "Very brave and noble" , "Surpassing the ordinary, in courage say" , "Valiant, courageous" , "Fearless, valiant" , "Gallant" .)
