Yes you can if the horse is used to the saddle and a rider. No matter what the previous dicipline of the horse with some exceptions ex. broodmare with a bad back or a mean un-trainable stallion used for breeding you can train a horse to do what you want with it. training a Trotting horse to ride under saddle if not previously trained for the dicipline would be the same as training a green broke horse that has never been ridden under saddle.

What do you do to tell where a limp is?

Determing what limb a lameness originates from can be difficult as horses may compensate by changing the gate of the diagonal leg (so if it's the front right, it may appear to be the back left). Determining which leg it is can take several different steps including trotting on soft and hard ground and working in circles. Having someone trot the horse away from you and to you can be helpful along with trotting the horse in a straight line across in front of you.

Why does a horse rider move up and down in the saddle when trotting or galloping?

The trot is a two beat gait and can be very bouncy.When the rider moves up and down it is called "posting". The horse's legs move in diagonal pairs when trotting. If the horse is moving in a circle the rider must rise when the front and back legs nearest the inside of the circle are underneath them. This ensures that they will have a smooth ride.During the gallop, riders do not move up and down in the saddle because it is a four beat gait. Instead they remain partially out of the saddle, which is called two-point or half seat.
