Horses can walk on sand fairly easily for an animal their size, however their ability to walk on sand is determined by the shape and depth of the sand itself as well as the horses hooves and body weight. A lighter weight horse with wider hooves will have an easier time walking on deep sand that a heavier horse with smaller hooves.
It should be kept in mind that sand is the most popular footing for all equestrian sports as it provided cushion to the legs and supporting structures, but it is typically angular sand that is only 3 inches deep for most sports, though it can be deeper for some activities like reining.

As the dry sand is loosely packed/coupled with each other thus the substancial force which are required to hold each granual is less as compared to the wet sand. when the sand is wet the forces of attraction increases as the each granual of the sand is easily coupled increasing the substancial force. thus a person can walk over wet sand rather than on a dry sand
