You shouldn't hold the back of a saddle (called the cantle) when you mount, because sometimes, if the girth (English)/cinch (Western) isn't tight enough and the saddle can slip. Always make sure the saddle's girth/cinch is snug and safe enough to mount.

The saddle shouldn't be touching or rubbing on the withers at all. You should easily be able to put some fingers between the saddle pad and the front of the saddle. The seat should be wide or narrow enough to fit your horse's back correctly. The base should not be too curved or straight for your horse's back. Basically, a saddle shouldn't restrict the horse's movement in any way.

Why should you never hold hold the back of the saddle to mount?
Answer: because this causes the spine to twist and could cause back problems in the long run !!! Answer: Proper mounting has the left hand on the reins and neck of the horse, and the right grasping the horn or pommel with the right forearm in the seat. By doing this, you won't pull the saddle off if done properly. As a riding student years ago, I had to learn to mount with out the girth fastened. I subsequently taught all my riding students this method. A tough equitation class can be won or lost on a good mount/dismount practice. As a judge, I used it when classes/ championships were very closely tied. You will also save on wear and tear on your horses back, and have a lot less back problems for all your mounts.
