I kept loosing it after about 10 seconds is that because my baby is moving? I’m 11 weeks and thee heartrate was around 145-150. Do babies heartbeat sound like a galloping horse?

Yes the heartbeat does sound like a galloping horse. (I don’t see how the umbilical cord could make a sound…) that is a really good heart rate as well. And it’s normal that you keep losing it after a few seconds. You should feel happy that you can find it at all
11 weeks is quite early for that! Good job 
The galloping horse is the umbilical cord. It can be hard to find the heartbeat but don’t freak out.
