I studied it during my English lessons at school... some words beginning with h allow an. For example I know that an hour isn't wrong.

The point was that the 'h' in 'hour' is silent but the 'h' in 'horrible'
is pronounced. So you would say "An hour' and 'A horrible".
For what it's worth, I pronounce the word 'mall' rhyming with 'shawl' but usually call them shopping centres anyway. I am shocked and horrified that anyone on the planet uses the pronunciation 'Garridge'.
