Yes, because horses are meant to be in the wild.

As long as the ground is not very slippery, it would be OK. However, if the ground is very slippery, you want to be very careful because the horse could easily lose it balance and fall.

no because your horse could possibly slip and injure either you or your horse. it can also rust metal tack and soften your leather tack.

sometimes you can if it's a short distance.

You should ask your instructor if you are educated enough to ride in the rain and if you have to ask him/her what to do or how to control the horse.

And if you are riding your horse in the lake you should use a halter and lead rope.

Generally a horse does not mind getting wet in the rain unless it is windy, and especially if it is windy and cold out. When it becomes windy a horse will either turn it's back to the wind or search for shelter. When it is cold and windy the horses will usually group together with their backs to the wind to stay warm. If the horses are owned by humans then the human can either bring them inside or put a light waterproof sheet on them until the wind stops blowing or it warms up.

Is it ok to ride a horse when it has a cut on its leg?

It depends on the severity of the cut. If it is a deep cut, if it bleeds when the horse moves too much, or if the horse limps from the pain of it, then no, you should not ride the horse. However, if the horse doesn't limp because of it, if it doesn't bleed, and if it isn't very deep, then I think it should be OK to ride. Ask your vet to be safe.
