There are a lot of presumptions, and speculations, conjectures, imaginations, opinions, but they mean nothing and are good for nothing, by the way, that's exactly the way the Devil likes, from a human perspective, not from God's perspective.

Another great question John. The horses parallel Mat 24, and are the signs of the last days. The white horse represents Jesus receiving the Crown, and then he does battle. The result of the battle is that satan is cast to the earth along with the demons Rev 12:7-9,12. Thus the start of the red horse that reveals that peace will be taken away from the earth. The black horse represents the food shortages, and the pale horse represents pestilence/diseases.

Hope that helps John

You've walked in the right direction in your interpretation, now just dive into the Word of GOD, and may the holy spirit helps you to go deeper into the vision.

John, there are scriptures in the Old Testament that also talk about horses.

What the Scriptures describe, not me, in Revelation 6, is that we come to the time called the great Day of the Lamb's wrath, the Day of the Lord. Revelation 6:v.17 - For the Great Day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?

Yes, who shall be able to stand? If "in this Lord's Day the heavens (understand: heavens are not sky, but celestial places in Christ-Ephesians 1:v.3, among others) shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up? Seeing then that all these things shall be DISSOLVED, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness?" 2 Peter 3:v.10-11. Yeah, what manner of persons ought the God's people, the Church, to be, still in this unfavorable environment?

Four powers sequentialy rise from earth in this Day of the Lord, i.e. from the midst of nations, from the midst of peoples (and they already started to rise) , and the environment on earth from now on becomes more and more complicated, and when the four horsemen be already operating on earth simultaneously we will know who will be at the right hand of the LORD. The War is ONE against three, and three against ONE, as is written in Revelation 16:v.13 to 16. Check it.
As JESUS said: Matt.24:v.21-25 and 35:
21 - Then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
22 - And except these days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake these days shall be shortened. (Comparare with Romans 9:v.28)
(Be careful and get ready)
23 - If any man (Pastors, and Bishops, and Evangelists, among others, even in the pulpit of the Churches) shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ (Christ came back), or there; believe it not. (See, they will not say or preach saying, JESUS came back, but Christ, a false Christ, of course, because the false Christ will come first, before JESUS comes - John 5:v.43-47)
JESUS said:
24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets (sellers of oil out of the time), and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
(Be careful, get ready)

25 Behold, I have told you before.
35 Heaven and earth shall pass away (2Peter 3:v.7 and so on and Revelation 11:v.18), but my words shall not pass away.

Hi Oseas, thank you sir for your compliment. God's people do that regularly for sure. Of course, when answering someones question, one would want to keep it simple and to the point. We certainly would not want to get too carried away with words plenty.
