Hop on one foot to start with and kick it a long way (4)
I believe the answer is:
hoof
'and kick it a long way' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'hop on one foot to start' is the wordplay.
'to start' suggests taking the first letters.
The first letters of 'hop on one foot' is 'HOOF'.
'with' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for hoof that I've seen before include "Ungulate's foot" , "Kick - dance - part of a horse" , "Animal foot" , "Part of animal's foot" , "Kick powerfully" .)
