Horses are measured in "hands," which represent the width of the average man's palm, standardized at four inches. A horse is measured from the ground (front hoof) in a straight line up to the highest point of the withers (above the shoulder, where the back and neck meet, roughly where the mane ends). The average Quarter Horse is about 15 hands, times 4 = 60 inches, so about five feet tall from hoof to withers. Hanovarians can be as tall as 17 or 19 hands.

A gallop is faster then a canter, but technically it is just longer... The front legs of the horse are placed farther in front of them, which does make them go faster, but most horses will only do this if they are naturally very eager to run (i.e. A race horse) or are very scared.

What does it mean in a park if a statue of a person on a horse has both front legs in the air?
for the most part, in general, This is a myth, . Equestrian statues of war and military heroes are not indicating anything by the placement of the horses hooves, Far too many counterexamples can be shown where the contrary is true. -- however, there are exceptions to the rule. The only places that a horses hoof/ hoves, commonly referred to as "Hoof Code", has any implication or meaning , is on the Monuments at the Gettysburg Memorial, as well as some in horse and Rider Statues witin Washington D.C. The only one that doesn't adhere to the "Hoof Code" at Gettysburg, is Lieutenant General James Longstreet --allthough he was severely wounded At Chapultepec during the Mexican American war, Longstreet was not wounded in the Battle of Gettysburg, yet his horse has one hoof raised. The placement of the feet at the Gettysburg Memorial, and in some Washington D.C. Statues, usually means the following when adhering to the "Hoof Code". All four hoofs on the Ground, the Rider was not wounded. One Hoof Raised:the Rider was wounded in battle, Two Hoofs Raised: the Rider was Killed in Battle . Again, this only applies to the Gettysburg Memorial, and to some of the monuments in Washington, D.C., and no where else. Most of the time, the hoof placement is merely to make the horse and rider look good. Here is more information on the placement of hoofs, and the Hoof Code. http://horsehints.org/WashingtonDCHorseStatues.htm

What is a no turn bell boot used for?
I think you mean an overreach boot. These stop the horse damaging its lower legs by overreaching, that is extending its back legs too far (generally in walk) and scraping the back of the leg in front with the toe of its hoof. If it's described as 'no turn' then it will probably stay securely above the hoof without twisting or flipping inside out, which sometimes happens.
