Took a ride round the Wild West show (5)
I believe the answer is:
rodeo
'wild west show' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'took a ride round' is the wordplay.
'took a ride' becomes 'rode' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'round' becomes 'o' (round can mean a round object).
'rode'+'o'='RODEO'
'the' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for rodeo that I've seen before include "cowboy carnival" , "Contest of cowboy skills" , "Cowboy show" , "One should be up for this event" , "Exhibition of cowboy skills" .)
