shoe

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

'what farriers do' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'flexible hose?' is the wordplay.
'flexible' indicates an anagram (letters get bent or changed).
'hose' anagrammed gives 'SHOE'.

'with' is the link.
