The term soundness is used when referring to the horses fitness for being ridden. A sound horse is healthy and free from physical defects that might effect it's capacity for work.
Lots of conditions can make a horse unsound although the most common cause is lameness. My stallion was lame after a hoof injury when he was 15. He developed Arthritis and was never ridden again but went on to give me several beautiful foals until his death at 28. I also had a horse who was blind in one eye, this made him technically unsound, even though he was actually safe to ride anywhere.
