horseman
Saddle-seated traveler
A horseman is a man who rides horses, especially one skilled in horsemanship.
The term suggests expertise rather than casual riding: an accomplished horseman.
Horseman also refers to a man who breeds or raises horses.
In apocalyptic imagery, the Four Horsemen are harbingers of catastrophe—conquest, war, famine, and death.
