I believe the answer is:

carthorse

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'care about god's clydesdale?' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't understand how one could define the other.

'care about god's clydesdale?' is the wordplay.
'care' becomes 'car care' (car care is a kind of care).
'about god' becomes 't' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'clydesdale?' becomes 'horse' (clydesdale is a kind of horse).
'car'+'t'+'horse'='CARTHORSE'
