How would you get out of this one?

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

On your right hand side is a sharp drop off and on your left hand side is an elephant travelling 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?
