How many times do horses have to be ridden a day?
Depending on the horse (breed, size, physical condition) and the reason why the person riding wants to ride (ie. pleasure, competition, dressage...) you can ride your horse for several hours a day. Remember that your horse needs breaks sometimes, just like you, so 5-10 min. rest every hour or so is probably a good idea. Always cool your horse down before turning it back out or returning it to its stall. Ideally, you should only work a horse once a day, for a maximum of two hours (depending on what you are doing) and a minimum that depends on the horse (and what you are doing). Horses should not be worked every day, maybe about 5 or 6 days a week.

yo can ride them right away You cannot ride the right away! That could permantely injure the horse! They have to be a least 2 or 3 years. It all depends on the horse, the breed, it's strength, and other factors. And even then, you can't throw a saddle on it, and hop on. It takes time!

When can a baby horse be ridden on?
Well in general a horse of any breed should not be broke to ride before they are 3 years old. This is due to the fact that before the age of three most breeds of horses growth plates haven't "closed" yet. But you can work on the ground with a saddle on the horse at the age of 1 1/2 - 2 years old to get the horse use to being saddled. But there are a lot of different exceptions to this rule due to bone maturity of the horse, weight, height, etc. But a good rule of thumb is to ask your vet to check over the horse to see if he is ready to start getting under saddle.
