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.

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
