Mainly it's due to lack of muscling around the legs, and in the past, due to lack of knowledge of how to treat such leg injuries. Only recently have advances been made in the veterinary field, particularly in the equine or large animal sector, that can make a horse survive a lot more readily from a broken leg than it could 50 years ago.

Taking that you mean wild horses...Wild horses survive by following with the herd. They have a great flight instinct and strong long legs that can escape predators. They look towards their lead horse, who tells them where it is safe to eat or drink or stop. Although horses are great survivors, death, sadly, can always result.
