QuoteQ: In the Bible the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse are named as Conquest, War, Famine and Death. Which of them rode a white horse?
A: The first, Conquest.

Er, being precise (pedantic?) the only horseman named in Revelation is 'Death' on the pale horse.
The other three have 'jobs' allocated - to conquer, to take peace from the earth and, apparently, to wander round with a big pair of scales muttering about the price of grain but no names no pack drill. 'Death' on the other hand insists on a proper credit. (and Hell followed with him).
They are given power 'to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth' but no names.
