I think it would be the same with Narnians.

An in-universe answer is most likely a combination of everything that's been brought up... it being a solitary occurence, and quite likely pertaining particularly to small Beasts that would not have subsequently taken part in the battle, so they were probably left out of the histories... and maybe really centaurs being the last option to fall on, due to custom.

Another thing is that HHB seems to make it pretty clear that it's not at all uncommon in war for talking horses to be ridden, and that could be extended to elephants, zebras and such. However, I doubt that even in the context of LWW it was likely that many would have ridden on Centaurs because custom in war would have dictated that they be left bare backed because they are much more useful as solo fighters than horses, same with the big cats and most likely unicorns. So when Aslan gave the order for those who could carry to do so I would think that traditional "beasts of burden" would probably take care of most that needed carried and came forward to do so first.

I mean, Aslan can do whatever he likes, but someone mentioned in SC that they didn't believe anyone had ever ridden a centaur before. I can't believe I never noticed that before. Does anyone have ideas or explanations? All I can think of is that perhaps no one who may have remembered this event was alive at the time of SC. But still, you'd think they'd have some record of it!
