forehoofs
Equine front feet
Forehoofs are the hoofs on the front legs of a four-legged animal, as distinct from the hind hoofs.
The word appears mainly in descriptions of horses, cattle, and other hoofed mammals: The horse reared up on its hind legs, forehoofs pawing the air.
Also spelled forehooves.
