It is mainly due to inertia of motion (Newton's first law of motion). When the horse is in motion then rider also remains in motion along with the horse. But when the horse suddenly stops, the lower part of the rider comes in the rest along with the horse but his upper part remains in the motion. This is why, he falls forward.

For the same reason you fall backwards when a car starts moving, except that in a car you have the back of the seat to fall against. When the horse starts to move faster, their momentum is faster than the rider's. So, in a way, the horse is kind of moving out from under the rider. This is one reason why riders work on their core stomach muscles, so they don't lose their balance and fall off backwards when their horse picks up speed.

How come the calesa moves forward with the horse?

As the horse exerts greater force, both horse and cart move, accelerating from zero to some velocity. During that acceleration the net forward force on the horse must be greater than the net backward force on the horse. And also, the net forward force on the cart must be greater than the net backward force on the cart. This is from Newton's second law
