hoofprint
Equine foot impression
A hoofprint is the impression left by an animal's hoof in soft ground—mud, sand, or snow.
Tracking hoofprints reveals which animals passed and when: Fresh hoofprints led down to the creek.
The word works like footprint but specifically for hooved animals such as horses, deer, or cattle.
