Any reason why you didn't link to this website Weissy? I actually don't really know what this reference means.

Four horsemen of the Apocalypse The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse are mentioned in the Bible in chapter six of the Book of Revelation. The four horsemen are traditionally named War, Famine, Pestilence, and Death.

The white color of the first horse could mean victory, because generals of that time often rode white horses after they had won a battle or war. The crown that its rider wore was a kind of prize awarded for service in a war. The bow that he carried could be a symbol of an enemy at that time, the Parthians, who were famous for their archery. The red color of the second horse could mean bloody war, and the sword held by the rider symbolizes war and violence. The black color of the third horse could be a symbol of death and famine. Its rider was holding a scale, which means scarcity of food, higher prices, and famine. The pale greenish color of the 4th horse means fear, sickness, decay, and death. The imagery of the four horses is adapted from a passage in Zechariah. (above references the Durer woodcut)
