They stop it tipping forward and smacking their head on the floor.
What is the benefit of the human brain?
It usually prevents daft posts on CR4

Stops them being confused with kangaroos ? Maybe the front legs evolved to prevent lack of mobility due to the well known donkey problem.

Seems like an odd proverb.

I've seen horses rear-up on their hind legs and kick with their front legs. A kick from the front leg of a horse can be pretty deadly.

And, I've seen horses rub their noses with their front legs.

Maybe the horses are different in Lybia.

Calgary Scrabble tournaments have a special trophy for the most outrageous phony word that gets by. The trophy consists of the rear half only of a horse, and is called the Horse's Ass Award. In this case, the front legs are of no advantage at all.

front legs make them quadrupedal, not bipedal, unlike some bipedal, unintelligent CR4 posters......
