Hi,
I live in the south too, in VA. last yr we had a very wet spring and a few of my girls got sore hooves. i closely inspected and founf in betewwn the toes at the top there was this whitish fungus stuff, so i tried Coppertox on their hooves. it is a greenish like liquid that you apply. It stains badly too. it instantly dried out the hoof area and protects from wetness. You can also try peroxide and some folks use a bleach solution, i haven't had to try that yet. But as jess said... keep those hooves trimmed and it will help a lot. Be a bit more aggressive about trimming for hoof problems, like trim every 10 days or so. hope this helps and good luck
