Depends on the type of mini. When it comes to miniature horses, it really seems to be more of a type then a breed in some cases. True "Falabellas" I'd say definately not. They are extremely fine boned, delicate and tiny. But often you get horses classified as miniatures that are actually part Shetland and while they're small, they're extremely stocky.
Small children can definately ride the latter. The average miniature really shouldn't be ridden by anyone though - they were designed as pets, not as riding animals. They're great for driving though!
