The more important question is, will the romance feel forced?

The main centaur guy definitely needs some pants.

I'm most certain there was an episode of Mr Osomatsu in which this very topic was briefly raised.

Not sure why being small would be a detriment to being a jockey. In the real world it's pretty much a requirement.
If manga/anime is anything to go by, it seems like the Japanese are feeling some height anxiety about being slightly shorter on average than their western counterparts. |

I'm expecting it to be more of a doujin thing, really, but...yeah. Not sure if maybe the author didn't think this through all the way (or maybe they intended it all along!), but a partner sport with one team member literally riding the other, yeah, that's got some undertones there. And here I thought the Korean horse-riding exercise machine was the most suggestive thing I'd see today. XDDD |

You've gotta watch this dub video then 
Honestly this would be extremely shippable if Takeru didn't look like Mineta from BnHA |

We all knew it was only a matter of time.
And in the doujin, the bad boy asshole centaur guy is totally the abusive seme who slaps Takeru around all day, but he actually has a heart of gold hidden down underneath his gruff exterior. Also, he won't let any guy ride him except Takeru, because he's not actually into guys, but they share a special bond or something like that. |

I love centaurs so I'll be reading this, although I too am wondering why he needs a jockey.

Given how the centaur women in Monster Musume feel about letting someone ride on their backs, I'm pretty sure it's an intimacy thing.
