A White Horse - Revelation 19:11

Revelation 19:11 ESV
Then I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse! The one sitting on it is called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he judges and makes war.

Revelation 6:1-2
​Now I watched when the Lamb opened one of the seven seals, and I heard one of the four living creatures say with a voice like thunder, “Come!” And I looked, and behold, a white horse! And its rider had a bow, and a crown was given to him, and he came out conquering, and to conquer.

The riders of these white horses are quite different. The white horse in chapter six is commanded to come by one of the living creatures. From the earth it appears. The rider is given the authority to conquer. God allows this for His purposes. 

The white horse in chapter nineteen comes at no one's command. He comes from heaven. Nothing is given to Him because all things are His. This rider is called Faithful and True. He is much more than a conqueror. 

There is no one that judges righteously other than Jesus Christ. He will truly judge.
