In this event, the horse would be perfect for drifting. I'd turn the reins, and dig into the stirrups. Weight transfer will move to the front for the hooves to hook better and let the rear come around. Let that shit drift behind the elephant as he passes, and maybe the lion would even get distracted and go for the bigger kill...I just hope to god you're not on a Mustang, Bronco, or Colt...
