It's not so much age as it is height and weight. I'm 5 foot tall and can ride a 13 hand horse but I'm light weight also. So long as the horse isn't carrying more than 20 % of it's own body weight and the riders legs sit in the correct place age won't matter.

At what age is a horse to old to work?

Not knowing if you mean the age of the horse or the riders age. Both will be answered here. A rider can ride until physically unable to do so, there is no age limit. As long as a horse is healthy and physically able to bare weight, it can be ridden. Well, you don't really have to stop at a certain age. But maybe when your old and can barely walk. But I say if the horse is fine, you can ride. So when ever you feel like stopping is the age.

Can you ride a pony or horse when its 1year's old?

You can NOT ride a horse or a pony at a year old. You will will cause serious damage to their growing body. A large horse is not done developing until 6-8 years of age and a small horse/pony is not done until 4-5 years of age. People how ride their horses before this time most likely will end up with horses that are arthritic and will not live very happy lives.
