The seat in which you sit on when on a horses back is called a saddle. The front part of a saddle is called a pommel and the back part of a saddle is called a cantle. Here is a basic saddle the stirrups are not on it at the moment. They are above the saddle not yet attatched.

You would be sitting on the "seat" of the horse
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.

Use of the half seat is supposed to be easier on a horse's back but requires strength and balance that a beginner rider usually doesn't possess. Lack of strength and balance will lend itself to balancing with the reins in a half seat. Unless the rider has the conditioning aat the walk and trot to effect a balanced half seat before they start to canter a sitting canter is easieroon both the horse and rider.
