This will vary be breed, sex, age etc. A formula to estimate a horse/ponies weight from Texas A&M is this.
Use a plastic measuring tape, wrap it around the pony's girth, just behind the elbow. write this number down. then measure from the point of shoulder to the point of buttock, write this number down.
Now do the following math. Girth X girth X length divide by 330= lbs.
Example 70 X 70 X 78 divide 330 =1158lbs. This is accurate to within 24 pounds.
If you're referring to Miniature horses (ponies) and not Shetland ponies. Then none. A mini should never be ridden, it might be able to carry a tiny child around but it will still damage the horses joints after time. They can however pull carts with little to no ill effects.

What is the max weight pony can carry?
The maximum weight for a pony is calculated using the same formula as for a horse. A horse or pony should never carry more than 20% of it's own body weight, this includes the rider and equipment. Remember that 20% is the upper limit, anything below that is better for the pony. As an example a 800 lb (362.8kg) pony can carry a maximum of 160 lbs (72.5 kg) in combined rider and equipment weight.
