I don't think Incompetence is the right thing at all. They have the brains of humans. No matter how much they practice climbing, they can't ever get any better at it? I don't think I would give them any trait regarding their climbing. Anything they want to climb will already have to support their weight. That looks like it would be the primary concern. That and snapping their horse legs.

How are you modeling the issues horses have with their legs and healing?

Ill take your argument on climbing, if only because it lets me leave the issue alone :)

I dont address the healing issue at all, as it is DF. A Centaur is smart enough to either adopt a three legged gait or simply rest while their leg(s) heal, which I understand to be a large problem with horses, and the whole lower leg lack of blood vessels thing kind of falls below the resolution of either GURPS or DF.
