I don't think famine and pestilence are the same horseman. I'm famine, and Idio's pestilence. I dunno bout the other two, though I think Bill should be death.
No, it looks like pestilence and famine are one in the same. Here:
I looked and there was a white horse, and its rider had a bow. He was given a crown, and he rode forth victorious to further his victories.
Another horse came out, a red one. Its rider was given power to take peace away from the earth, so that people would slaughter one another. And he was given a huge sword.
I looked, and there was a black horse, its rider held a scale in his hand. I heard what seemed to be a voice in the midst of the four living creatures It said, "A ratoin of wheat costs a day's pay, and three rations of barley cost a day's pay. But do not damage the olive oil or the wine."
I looked, and there was a pale green horse. Its rider was named Death, and Hades accompanied him. They were given authority over a quarter of the earth, to kill with sword, famine, and plague, and by means of the beasts of the earth.
