Best Answer

At least they should be 5-6 years old to ride a horse.

If they are actually competing, then they should be at least 5-6 with at least 4 years of riding under their belt. However, if they are just sitting on or walking the horse then they could do that as soon as they can sit.

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.
