Before going down, legend says that he asked "Where is the horse and the rider?"
"Where is the horn that was blowing? "
Wtf does that mean? Or was he just batshit crazy?
with no other context I would assume a reference to the biblical depiction of death.

It is a reference to the lines of the film actor of the captain of Titanic in the 1997 film being the same actor who played King Theoden of Rohan (a horse-riding people) in the Lord of The Rings trilogy by Peter Jackson.
well there's some good context
