Yes I have a friend with an ICD and she rides regularly. Her work only allows her to ride at the weekends, but she rides both days and in the week if work allows. She has lessons and competes dressage on her chap, as well as taking 10 day two week riding holidays all over the world.
The op will take it out of you for a few months but it shouldn't stop you riding once recovered

My old instructor BE events up to intermediate successfully with a pacemaker. She's had a heart valve replacement and previously cancer too. She's never let anything stop her.

Just remember to take ti easy as you will tire very easily, maybe ensure you have a friend to hand the first few times you ride after the op as you may need the help untacking etc
