If you are riding, there is not much you can do right away. When you are done riding, take your horse to a hose and rise off the sweat with water- make sure it is the right temperature. If you only have a hose in a place where you can't hose horses, then take a sponge, soak it, and then squeeze it over your horse. If your horse is fuzzy, maybe you should think about clipping your horse's coat. If not, it is just hot, I would not be too worried. If your horse is sweating and it isn't hot, or you aren't working the horse, you should talk to an expert, preferrably the vet.

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.
