Yes. Anyone who was wealthy enough could ride. However, anyone of high rank could not ride a horse to Canterbury. This led to noblemen, bishops, etc. riding mules or hinnies instead to get round the law (and no doubt they had a more comfortable ride anyway).

It wasn't typical at the time. If they did, it was probably in secret. It was considered scandalous for ladies to ride astride back then.

Yes, they did. Elizabeth I, for instance, was an expert horse-rider.

Noble women were expected to be able to ride a horse.
