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.

Would a 5.3 foot girl be too small for a 14.2 hands high horse?

Well, honey, let me break it down for you. A 14.2 hands high horse is roughly about 4.8 feet tall at the withers. So, a 5.3 foot girl would be taller than the horse. It's not about size, it's about skill and comfort level when it comes to riding. So, as long as the girl feels confident and can handle the horse, height doesn't really matter.

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.

How do you know what breed of horse is right for you to look for and buy?

It isn't the breed specifically; you need a horse that is the right size for you, and you need a horse that's the right temperament If you are a beginner rider, you need a bombproof horse temperament 0-1). Intermediate should be about a 2-4 temperament. And so on. It also depends what you are using the horse for.
