Not really clear as to what his position reference the horse (and what a small head the horse has!).
Look at his legs. It looks like he is standing beside the horse and his right leg is placed between the front legs of the horse. Or is the small head of the horse meant to show some distance, as in the horse has fallen and is on its side?
Cheers

It is an odd depiction. One could also ask why the opponent is as tall as a man on a horse, if the knight is mounted.

The mistake of the master who made the tapestry, in my opinion, is out of the question.

I'm not saying you're wrong just that it would have been a terrible oversight.

Yes, but that is still the most likely scenario.
Could you imagine having to fight with your right leg between the front legs of a pony? Don't know why but I imagined Eddie Izzard's voice saying that as typed it.
