Are you braking so hard that your chest is against the wheel?
I'd bet that the horn pad/ button is the issue. Remove it and put some electical tape over the connector and drive it a bit trying to repeat the hard braking. If it still does it, then you have a short in the wire to ground elsewhere, probably where it goes through the firewall, etc.

The springs that hold the horn pad back have sagged a bit. If you are stationary, is the horn a very light touch to sound?
Take the horn pad off and stretch the spring/s a bit to make them slightly longer.
Alternativly put a bit of foam b/w the pad and the wheel so that you must squash that before the horn works.
