the snakes function as lap belts. you should scritch their manes while they hold your hips tight.
they're also necessary, even at a languid pace i've got a sway to those hefty haunches. rodeo bulll even at rest.
and i mean also as pudgy as the moobeast is, you shouldn't have much trouble getting handholds if you wanna lean forward and ride 'em like a mootaurcycle.
