the theory is that on a statue of a solider on horseback, if the horse is standing with one hoof off the ground, the soldier was wounded in battle Two raised hooves indicate that the soldier died in battle. If the statue shows all four hooves on the ground, the rider died of natural causes

How do you become a better horse rider?
In my opinion, confidence in yourself and the horse is the most important. Just push yourself a little bit further every time. Last jumping session you might have jumped 1 foot 6, maybe this time you could jump 1 foot 9? Also understand the horse you are riding. You and the horse are going to be learning new skills all the time, it's your job as a rider to teach the horse. For example, if you are riding a nervous horse, you must get him to trust you, and let him know that there is nothing to be afraid of.
When mounting a horse which foot do you put first?

A stirrup is not a part of a horse, but rather a part of a saddle that a horse wears. Stirrup leathers are leather strips with holes punched every inch, in which a buckle fits.

Is a 15.0 hand horse for a 5 foot and 3 incher girl?
In general a horses height doesn't have too much to do with a riders height. It is more the weight of the rider that matters. A taller horse will be bigger in general and more able to carry a heavier rider's weight. Of course a taller horse looks more proportioned to a taller rider than a short horse to a tall rider. A 15H horse is just fine for a 5'3" person provided they are not excessivley overweight. I have a 15H horse and I am 5'6". By contrast, my daughter is 5 1/2yrs old and rides 16 hand or taller horses regularly. Height is less important than weight.
