A horse with perfectly healthy legs. He is not lame in any way. Soundness includes good eyesight, breathing, correct structure of the teeth and overall structure that results in good overall function in conjunction with healthy legs and feet. In horses used for breeding, soundness refers to the stallion's ability to breed and get mares in foal. Breeding soundness in a broodmare means that the mare is fertile, can carry a foal to term and produce adequate milk to support a foal.
You should narrow the question down. Broke to ride? What discipline? Race horse? Broodmare or breeding stallion? Age? Breed? Show record? All of these things will greatly effect the price of the horse, not to mention what part of the states you are in. The price of horses varies depending on what area you're looking for a horse in. In the states you can find "free" horses (although they will probably cost you a lot in vet bills!), or horses at auctions for a few hundred dollars. You can also find horses for tens of thousands of dollars and the prices go up from there.
The foal's mother is called its dam and its father is its sire. Although an adult male horse in general is called a stallion. The mother is still a mare. If she was under four years old before she gave birth, she will now be called a mare even though she is still young enough to be considered a filly. During her pregnancy she is said to be 'in foal' and after the foal is born she is nursing or has a foal at foot. A mare that is constantly used for breeding (usually covered again on her first heat after foaling) is called a broodmare. She'll revert to simply being called a mare however after the lead stallion chases off the colts (the male foals at age 4) and the fillies when they're at a particular age.

She didn't. She is still alive. She's a broodmare at Coolmore Farms in Ireland. She is 21.
The exact definition can vary between breeds and shows, but in general - a broodmare has given birth to a foal the year in question. A yeld (rather than yield) mare did not give birth to a foal, but is mature enough to have been able to. Typically, these definitions are used with draft horses in particular.

Protein requirements do increase slightly with training and exercise but this is insignificant in comparison to the protein needs of a young, growing horse, or a lactating broodmare.
A horses mother is called a Dam. But typically this is only used once the foal is on the ground. Until the foal is born the mare is usually just called a broodmare.
