I guess it would also depend not only upon the rider/the horse/& the instructor, but also what you define "good" as…..
If you define good as Olympic level, Grand Prix jumper, or world class level reiner, etc…… then consider, that *most* of theeeeee top riders have ridden every day of their lives since their early childhood, and have ridden many horses per day.
This is best chance of learning – riding more than one horse– getting that vast experience, it is what will get you over the bumps, and get you to learn your trade better. Ride many horses a day and in 15 years or so, you’ll probably be a top competitor, with quality instruction and the right horses, of course.
If you consider good a person who can go from not knowing anything to being able to properly ride through a walk,trot, canter, and basically build a safe enough level of skill to go out and enjoy themselves on a trail or something like that, I would say that this goal would probably be acheivable in 12 months— with the right instruction, the right horse, and regular lessons at least 2 a week.
