You sure about that? 
These are big animals. Or some species of wolf are anyway. Bigger than most “civilized” people realize. I’ve seen the skin of one my brother hunted years ago and it’s certainly large enough to make one ponder the question.
Adult timber wolves can stand around ~3.5 ft shoulder height, and dire wolves, now extinct, were supposedly a bit bigger than that. Is it really that far fetched to believe that in the Hyborian Age there was a breed large enough one could ride? Especially when you throw in the fact that we’ve got things like demons and dragons and giants in the mix?
Semi-related side note, the horses that knights rode into battle back in the medieval period were supposedly about the size of a modern day pony. Not the massive steeds you typically see them portrayed as, nor what we’ve got in the game currently.
