Again, one has to wonder, as for our horseman of coins, whether this be a knight, or a horse-rider.
I have at times wondered whether the four horse-men (the four 'knights') can be looked upon as the four horsemen talked of in the Apocalypse of St John, each often depicted in its own colour (following apocalyptic description). The green prevalent on this horseman in the Schaffhouse deck would in that case speak of pestilence.
Yet I also tend to see the Cavaliers as far more positive in their possible meaning and attributes, often refering to the need (or the act) of going out to seek further insights or information about a situation (or providing the same to another - not holding back) rather than firming a decision perhaps left for another time.
