Centaurs have many ethnicities, but there are two major groups divided by lifestyle. Although they have many notable differences in physiology, they are not considered separate species as geneflow between the two groups is fairly high.
Nomads tend to be smaller, stockier, with shorter spines and higher endurance. They have a more “canine” lifestyle, walking long distances driving and livestock and wild stock prey herds as they go. In bare-handed hunting they tend to favor organized sprinting pursuit, similar to wolf prey capture.
Settler centaurs tend to be larger, with longer, more flexible spines and higher sprint speeds. They have a more “feline” lifestyle, with clans occupying fixed territories of livestock and wild prey. In bare-handed hunting they tend to favor stalking followed by short sprints, like cheetah or lion prey capture.

Energy conservation vs using energy to full effect?

This is a fascinating division to have within a single species. Are the differences in hunting styles determined more by physiology or by culture/training? (Or both?) How common is bare-handed hunting with domesticated livestock also available?

This is great. I appreciate the thought you've put into these.
