Before sitting on the saddle you see some horse riders go in front of the horse and pull it forwad why do thay do this?
They are probably getting the horse to stand straight before mounting. If they stand directly in front and appear to look through the horse they may be checking their stirrups are equal length, this is a good position to check from. With a well trained horse and rider there is no need to stand in front and pull the horse, the horse will be easily manouverable whilst by its shoulder.

What are the last checks to be done before mounting a horse?
If you mean do you check that the saddle is still tight on the horse, absolutely! Check your girth; ideally, it should be tight enough that you can slide your fingers under it, but you can't lift it up from the horse's side. Also check your girth if you've been riding for a while but plan to do some work that will involve galloping or tight turns. This is an extremely important thing; a loose saddle can slide off a horse and cause you to fall. I've done this and wound up with a moderate concussion and back damage. And always wear a helmet when you ride; it can save your life!Check the girth Check the stirrups And check that the horse ahs gone to the saddle
