I am guessing it is to warm up their tendons.
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!!!
The pommel on a saddle is the front arched area above the tree. It is more accurately located in front of the seat and it is there to give the horse's withers and scapula room to move freely when being ridden and to keep the rider from sitting too far forward.
To tilt your bike saddle, first, use an Allen wrench or a screwdriver to loosen the saddle clamp bolts located underneath the saddle. Adjust the angle of the saddle by tilting it forward or backward to your desired position, ensuring it aligns with your riding style and comfort. Once you've made the adjustment, tighten the bolts securely to maintain the new angle during rides. Always test the saddle position by sitting on the bike to ensure it feels comfortable and stable.
A saddle embolus, or saddle thrombus, is a blood clot in the distal aorta. It is called a saddle thrombus because it often blocks on or both of the femoral arteries, sitting like a saddle on the split between the two.
Crupper
It is called the crupper.

it depend on what tyoe of riding your doing. for example if your galloping towards a barrel u sit forward in your saddle but if ur riding a cow horse us sit balanced on the back of your saddle to have more controlfor English riding:for all: you shouldn't be either leaning too far forward, or back. your shoulder should be lined up with your healwalk, you should be relaxed, but still alert and sitting in about the center of the saddle.trot: for a post you lift your butt out of the saddle when your horse rises - you come slightly out of the saddle, not straight up, but slightly forward.canter: as my old trainer desctribed it to me: you kind of "scoop" with your butt.gallop: there is a position called half seat were you lift your butt slightly out of the saddle so its easier for your horse to move faster, if you do half seat instead of sitting down, you will find that your horse is more willing to go faster.jumping: "2-point" its where you lean forward in the saddle (butt up in the air) with a strait back. only go up into 2-point when you feel your horse jump, if you do it to early, your horse may take a little dive before the jump and it will feel kind of akward (trust me). and if you are jumping small fences (2-2 1/2ft) you should stay in the 2-point position for a stride afterthat's about it :o)~Bella
The optimal saddle position for maximum comfort and efficiency while cycling varies for each individual. However, in general, a saddle positioned slightly forward can help with power and efficiency, while a saddle positioned slightly back can provide more comfort and stability. It is important to experiment and adjust the saddle position to find what works best for you.
When adjusting your bicycle sitting position for optimal comfort and performance, key factors to consider include the height of the saddle, the distance between the saddle and handlebars, the angle of the saddle, and the position of the handlebars. These adjustments can help prevent discomfort and improve efficiency while riding.

It's so that your rear doesn't fly out of the saddle wile in flight. (Dressage saddles have even higher 'backs' so that you don't bounce as much in the sitting extended trot).
