I can understand how problematic they are for a runner, but for a broodmare, I don't quite grasp the issue they might cause. Please explain....

I don't know how sore she is, or how bad her knees are, that's why my question mark. Chuck will let us know if he thinks she can be a broodmare.
Horses carry 60% of their weight on their front ends, add the weight gain from pregnancy, and some horses with physical problems can end up with alot of pain during pregnancy. Don't forget horses spend most of their life standing, walking.
