Do you trot gallop or jump to notice a limp in a horse?

Trot. When a horse trots, its head stays level unless it has a limp in the front end. When the horse has a limp in the back end one of its hind quarters drops. If it is sound then they are level. When a horse is galloping it has a 'leading leg' - its two sides do not have the same movements so it is difficult to spot a limp.

Do you make the horse jump to find a limp?

No; in fact, that could only worsen things exponentially. If a limp is not visible (even slightly) when the horse is walking, he's trotted in hand. It should show up then if it's there.
