hoof print

Horse's ground stamp

A hoof print is the impression left in soft ground by an animal's hoof—typically a horse, deer, cow, or similar hoofed creature.

Trackers read hoof prints to identify animals and determine their direction of travel: Fresh hoof prints crossed the muddy trail.

Also spelled as one word: hoofprint.
