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.

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.

How do you notice a limp on horse?
The first signs you might see is if a horse is holding its front foot off the ground (resting a back leg is normal however) or limping noticeably when it walks. You should call the vet. He will probably ask you to lead the horse at a trot away from him and then towards him. The horse's head will nod when the good leg hits the ground and jerk up when the bad leg comes down. If the limp is in a hindleg, the hindquarter of the other leg will also drop when that foot hits the ground.
