Riddle for Seniors Surveyors

Here is the situation:
.
You are on a horse, galloping at a constant speed.
.
On your right side is a sharp drop-off.
.
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 get out of this highly dangerous situation?

Think logically before you scroll down for the answer.

HERE IT IS:
Quietly get off the merry-go-round and go home!
