hoofprints
Equine foot marks
Hoofprints are the impressions left by an animal's hooves on soft ground—mud, sand, snow, or dirt.
Tracking hoofprints reveals what animals passed through and when: Fresh hoofprints in the snow led toward the barn.
The word appears most often in rural, wilderness, or historical contexts.
