a hoof divided into two parts

Each leg is strong (etc.) and has "a hoof divided into two parts"

Obviously a "cleft hoof" / "divided hoof" is meant, but this is perhaps a little complicated for a children's text.

cloves

Maintain good hoof care: A good hoof care routine is always important but even more so in cold weather. If the goat's hooves are not kept properly trimmed, debris can collect and freeze not only in each hoof clove but also between the cloves of each hoof.
