The best thing to do is to towel dry the horses hooves and keep the horse on dry land. You can also apply a hoof hardener on the outside horn of the hoof and some products can be applied to the sole as well.
they like to be able to drink but if the whole area is wet mud could get stuck in their hooves and they might sink in the ground, so, in conclusion, no.
Thrush* is a fungus or infection that grows in the horse's hoof when the hooves are not properly cleaned on a regular basis and/or the horse is left to stand in a wet, soggy area with no dry land and no way to care for its hooves. Your local vet, stores like TSC (Tractor Supply Comapany), PetSmart, and many other animal care stores can provide you with a product called Thrust Buster that works like a charm. I have rasied and trained horses for many years, and I have never seen a case of Thrush that Thrush Buster couldn't handle. (Then again, my horses' hooves were never bad, if you don't see the Thrush infection healing, haul your horse to the local vet.)
Well wet or sweaty is fine. I've never used one on a dry horse before but I think it might provide a good scratching surface for a horse when used dry.

The time when a horses hooves will be driest depends more on the climate than what time of year it is. If the climate is dry and there is no moisture on the ground then it's likely that the horses will dry out more than if it were raining or if a wet spot was provided.
The biggest danger of not cleaning out your horse's hooves is that he could have something wedged into the sole like a small rock. For horses that are made to stand in wet footing are at a risk for developing thrush or mud fever.
