I believe the answer is:

steer

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

This could be a double definition.

'provide guidance' is the first definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'farmyard animal' is the second definition.
'steer' can be an answer for 'animal' (I've seen this before). I'm unsure of the 'farmyard' bit.

'for a' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for steer that I've seen before include "Direct; young ox" , "farm animal" , "What cowboys try to do to" , "Guide the bull" , "give guidance" .)
