The term broken wind refers to a horse that has Recurrent Airway Obstruction (also known as Heaves or COPD). Similar to Asthma in humans, its root cause can be a multitude of things, though it is often mold spores in hay or bedding. The end result is a horse that has a difficult time breathing - ranging in severity from mild to severe (when they struggle to breathe even when standing still).
