when I equip via Vast Wealth and the action is blocked, the weapon I tryed to equip is put in the ash heap. Does that qualify as "used for the action" to play Hay Ride or would I have to play the equipment card from the hand and use its inherent equip acton for that?
Vast Wealth
Master Master.
Put this card on a ready minion you control. While you
control this minion, he or she can equip with the first
piece of equipment you find in your library (working
down from the top) as a +1 stealth action
(requirements and cost apply as normal). Shuffle
afterward.
Hay Ride [HttB:R]
Cardtype: Action Modifier
Cost: 1 blood
Discipline:Sanguinus
[san] Only usable after resolving an action (successfully or not). Choose a Blood
Brother of the same circle as this acting vampire. As your next action, that Blood
Brother may play the action card used for this action from your ash heap as if
from your hand.
[SAN ] As above, but the cost of this card is reduced by 1 blood.

Correct.
Plus, there is no action card. So Hay Ride can't be played.

Can't be played? Or has no effect when played?
I mean, "Only usable after resolving an action (successfully or not)" seems like it would apply in this case. And, "As your next action, that Blood
Brother may" is clearly both optional and outside the scope of this action.
Contrast the case where the chosen Blood Brother is unable to take an action. (They may have a Bauble, or just be tapped.) That would also prohibit the optional clause from being possible, but I wouldn't expect that to prevent the play of Hay Ride.

You have to read the whole card, you can't just read a bit then conclude anything.
The card allows you to play an action card again. If there's no action card, you can't play HR.

Originally I was looking for a card that grants a Anonymous-Freight-like effect without being an action itself, but obviously such a card does not exist. And if equiping with Anonymous Freight, Hay Ride probably can only be used for this and not for the equipment.
Anonymous Freight
Action
+3 stealth equip action. Requires a vampire.
Equip this vampire with a non-location equipment card from your hand (requirements and cost apply as normal).

If you performing (successfully or not) an Anonymous Freight action, Hay Ride can indeed only be used to play Anonymous Freight again (with, maybe, a new target).
Were you looking for a card such as Pier 13, Port of Baltimore?

In this case, the equipping part is not an action (so you can't play action modifiers - such as Forger's Hammer - on it). It also triggers during the influence phase, where minion cards can't be played.
