The phrase rode hard refers to riding a horse, in a demanding manner; sometimes people ride a horse for a long distance, or at a gallop, which tires the horse out to an unusual degree. That is the literal meaning of riding hard. The term is also used as a metaphor. If anything has been "rode hard" that means you have used it in a particularly stressful manner which may tend to wear it out or damage it.
