"Pommel" originally comes from the word for an apple and was first used for a round ornament etc, it then came to apply to the knob at the end of a sword or dagger handle and from about 1450 was also applied to the projecting front part of a saddle and, because the 'handles' on the type of horse you specify resemble those that is why the name arose.
