Thanksgiving Teaser

I figured you'd be in too much of a food coma to want to read anything deep, so I'm sending you a brain-teaser instead. Guaranteed, you'll need the whole family to figure this one out.

Happy Turkey Day!

You are on a Horse, galloping at a constant speed.

On your right side is a sharp drop off, and on your left side is an Elephant traveling at the same speed as you.

Directly in front of you is a galloping Kangaroo and your horse is unable to overtake it.

Behind you is a Lion running at the same speed as you and the Kangaroo.

What must you do to safely get out of this highly dangerous situation?

See answer below.
