That was smart. Once you lock the rears you just gotta ride it out or you'll probably high side :)

I don't know, I'd argue that the way he's using his front hooves is almost antilock-like.

the fronts are just there to prop himself up, not doing any actual braking

That.

Was.

AWESOME.

Thats pretty awesome.

If this gif explodes on Reddit or something, we'll probably see another sequel of The Fast and The Furious - Kentucky Drift.

In the same way that ABS pulses the brakes to keep you under control. And he's shuffling his back legs a little bit as well. Sorry, there is anti-lock here.

but i dont see him actually braking, they just move to keep him up.

and ABS would work a LOT daster. just looks like he is letting off the brakes to rea-glin a bit before applying again

We're arguing about whether or not a horse's actions constitute anti-lock braking.

I love Oppo.

Dude, it's so clear that the rears are locked. The driver's lucky it didn't go into a full four hoof drift!

It's like full size trucks from the 90s that had front antilock only. The front legs keep him pointed correctly and upright while the rears are locked up hard!

Luckily I wasn't drinking anything; this conclusion made me laugh pretty fucking hard.

I'd say he's pulling a delta wing. Leaning back and pushing his back legs forward to distribute most of the weight rearwards onto the back wheels hooves, which means he can lock the rears and do most of the braking there, without looping like a 50-50 weight distribution mammal, a cow for example. This means his fronts are free to continue rolling walking, which lets him keep in control while sliding. Essentially he's producing the same behavior as abs would, while digging in and, in my opinion, using the soft surface to better effect.

Ben Bowlby, bored with phallic race cars, has turned to the natural world for his next engineering challenge. He has applied his design philosophy to a majestic animal renouned for it's penile grandeur, seemingly with great success. Let's hope Toyota's Hippopotamus-antelope hybrid prototype doesn't take it out of commission before it's time.
