4. A white horse has always symbolized justice or victory.

I think the symbol has it's roots in biblical writings.

I believe the Celts used the white horse as a symbol of leadership or strength, too- so I suppose it could come from there as well.

6. Because on black and white TV sets ...

you could pick out the Lone Ranger from everyone else riding darker horses.

What reason do YOU think? Sometimes a train going through a tunnel is just a train going through a tunnel.

12. And when he had opened the fourth seal

I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see. And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death. And Hell followed with him.
