Does this violate the rules in D&D?

If not I have a new character

Edit:

A willing creature that is at least one size larger than you and that has an appropriate anatomy can serve as a mount, using the following rules.

Centaurs are medium, horses are large. RAW a centaur should be able to mount a horse, with only some squabbling over appropriate anatomy.

This was the top comment when the artist posted the OP comic on Imgur, so it seems like a possibility

A comic where a character points out that in the Theros setting she is a medium creature and thus can ride large creatures such as horses

The horse is nervous from getting aroused

He's training for a horse race.

How are you even supposed to act towards a horse if you're a centaur? Wouldn't they basically seem like non-sapient furries to you? It seems uncomfortable, it would raise questions about the nature of whatever world you exist in.

It's just another species that's similar but different, just like apes.

Good point but NGL sometimes I look at apes and they make me thing "dude this is totally breaking the world building"

They have to do it anyway because it's an order from their Master Tactician.

I've known many, many people who keep horses. All the time, effort, and money that goes into keeping them happy, healthy, and alive -- horse ownership is not a good match for lazy people.

On the other hand, if the horse feels it's lazy, who am I to deny his feelings on the matter. I'm not the one being ridden.
