All are, as long as they're healthy. Most horses are at their prime for riding between the ages of 6 and 12. By that time they are well trained and good at their job(s). They can live to be over 30 years old, sometimes older. Most can be ridden their whole life as long as the horse doesn't have any health problems.

More important than the size of the horse is its training. If the horse responds to a child and the child feels comfortable, a larger horse often is a better choice than a pony for several reasons including:
* The gaits of a larger horse are easier to ride.
* The horse will be large enough for the child for a longer period of time.
* Horses are often have more even dispositions than ponies.
If the child feels intimidated by the size of the horse, then it is too big. If the child's feet dangle more than a little below the girth (belly) of the horse when riding, the child is too big for it.
It depends on how tall she is and how much she weighs. However, i would say from personal experience that a pony about 13.2hh - 14hh should suit her nicly and last her a couple of years. i have a 14.2hh pony i got her when i was 12 and now i am nearly 17 and still ride her and compete. however be sure not to over horse her.

What size of paddock does a horse need?
At least half an acre. The size of the paddock will depend on how you intend to keep the horse. If you are going to use a 'drylot' system, then a horse needs a paddock around 100' x 50 to 70' (feet) in size. If the horse will be on limited grazing, then a quarter to a half acre would be better.
What size horse would a 133 cm girl need?
The size of horse or pony you would require would depend a bit more on your weight than your height really. A horse or pony should never carry anymore than 20% of it's own body weight, this includes the rider, saddle and any other gear. At 133cm (4'4") you could ride just about any height of pony, from 12 hands upwards so long as it is able to carry your weight well. If you are still growing you would do better to buy a slightly taller horse than what you need now, as this way you will not out grow it so quickly.
