At your height and weight I'd pick a horse in the high 15 hands range. Also remember that a horse shouldn't carry more than 20% of it's own body weight( and no fat/overweight horses cannot carry more) This includes tack and rider weight together. You should also look for a horse with thick cannon bones and broad loins.
