I was wondering, how much can creatures carry of smaller creatures. For example, how many medium creatures could a horse carry? How many medium could a huge carry?
I'd say it would be up to its carrying capacity. So, a riding horse has a carrying capacity of 480 pounds. So, probably there adults max if they are fairly skinny and don't have gear. It wouldn't be a comfortable ride for anyone involved, though.

how did you calculate 480 pounds for the horse?
Under strength in the PH it lists carrying capacity. It is 15 times strength score, and doubles for each size category over medium (half for tiny).
Also it gives specific numbers for common mounts in the equipment section
