Horse Breeding

My spotted draft has a great disposition and is very easily trained. She's wonderful and quite striking. She would have awesome babies. I don't know if I will ever breed her though. I am not sure if that is selfish on my part - not giving her a chance to have her own - or if horses care one way or the other at all. My reason for not wanting to breed her is that I am too afraid I would lose her. I have read some sad stories of mares lost during birthing and I don't want to risk it. Would I be depriving her? I guess the only one who could really tell me is my girl and since I'm not a Horse Whisperer, I can't know the answer to that.
