Crikey, they're greedy trying to extract a foal every year.
My research indicates that when one uses a mare as a breeding machine, they don't have time to recover, they need at least one year off, as one prominent breeder agreed and does with great success. Otherwise the foals don't tend to get the full benefit of the vitamins, minerals, enzymes, and proper formation and conformation of highly crucial areas. If a mare doesn't have time to recover and rebuild herself (lets not forget she's lactating the whole time), this can lead to dead, slipped, or inferior foals.
