Yes. It may not hurt them at the time, but if you ride them when they are under 3 years old (some horses can be started around 2 years old though) they can have bone problems later on in life; Which will significantly shorten how many year you get to ride your horse.

Race horses start at about two although this is bad for them. If you are looking to start a horse you should wait until they are about 4 to start riding them. If the start too early it can cause problems later in their life
You don't... you wait it out, and help the horse Recover... Dont start riding your horse till the vet or farrier has said that you can start to bring it slowing back it too work. Not hard walk though ( just a short trail ride everyday. if your horse gets sore from you riding it you should stop straight away. but you have too wait till the horse has fully recovered.
In real life, feeding a horse directly after riding can result in colic. Since colic is a very serious disorder that can result in death, feeding right after riding is not recommended. Neither is giving too much water after riding.
Cowboys loved a colorful phrase! This was a horse-riding phrase. It meant to ride a horse until it was overheated. The image is of your horse in an oven baking because you rode it too long or too fast.
No, horse riding isn't just for boys. Girls can ride too! In fact, if you researched well, you may find that some horse riding movies have more girl riders, then boy riders. I hope this helped! :) BTW, I am a girl who rides horses.
visitwiltshire.co.uk is actually a guide for tourists but they include opportunities for horse riding as well. The proposed riding clubs offer regular lessons for locals too.

Too hard of soil can bruise a horses feet and legs, rocks can make a horse misstep, mud can be slippery. Too soft of dirt can cause a horse to work too hard or slip.
if your riding, you can fall off if you aren't sitting right. while training for races a competition if the horse is too young you can shatter it's legs.
When going riding boots with chunky heels, jodhpurs or some protectively padded trousers, riding hat, gloves, crop, body protector, and anything else the type of ride you are participating in requires. Always a good idea to take your horse some treats as a thank you too.
If you mean when should you stop riding a horse that is in foal(?) Then that would be up to the 9th month of the pregnancy. After that the mare is carrying too much weight on her own body to safely and comfortably accommodate a humans weight.
