Well you don't have to be a certain age. To sit on a horse with someone holding on to you you can be a baby. To be able to hold your self up on a horse without help you should start at 5 or 6.

Answer 2:

As stated above you can be held on a horse or pony as a baby, however this is not recommended for safety issues. You can begin young rider lessons at anywhere from 2 years of age (With a helper) on up. Many stables will not allow children under the age of 7 years to ride as they lack focus and the ability to memorize complicated oral instructions and the physical ability to control a pony.
