Sometimes a rider will move their horse forward after tightening a cinch to make sure the horse is not holding it's breath then will re-tighten the cinch before mounting to ensure the cinch is tight enough when riding to hold the saddle in place. Or they will move them to make sure that the cinch isn't pinching any skin, because if it is, it can rubs sores or bald spots under the girth.
if the pull their horse's legs up and forward it stretches the horse's mussels. Also, some horses can be "cinchy" or "cold-backed." If you get on a horse right after you tighten their girth it hurts so they tense up.

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.

Yes it is nessasary to pull the horse forward because it gets rid of skin folds under the strap that can cause wounds to your horse!!!

No, they are making sure the saddle is on the right place on the horses back so that the saddle isn't uncomforable for the horse and/or rider. :) Hope it helps!!
