from Thrace or even Scythia is that Centaurs were not associated to
these regions. The Centaurs lived in Thessalia and Magnesia. Robert
Graves stated that the primitive form of Centaurs was like the
satyrs, a horse-footed man. The figure with horse body and man body
mixed camed after.
I believe they were horse bodied from very early. I think you may be
mixing it up with the early representation of satyrs which were shown
with horses tails.
Thessalia and Magnesia are the areas that mounted horse warriors
would have to pass through on their way south into Attica and the
Argolid.
