the.com/horseman
A man on a horse, or the thing you don't want to see four of.
means A person who rides or works with horses — skilled in handling, riding, or herding them.
from A plain compound of 'horse' and 'man,' straightforward Old English stock — no hidden trick here. The word's dark fame comes from the Book of Revelation, where the Four Horsemen (traditionally read as Conquest, War, Famine, and Death) ride out to herald the end times, a 'horseman' doing double duty ever since as both a stable job and an apocalyptic headcount.
