Cromwell's Hyde Park accident with six horses in forceful drive
Cromwell’s rides in Hyde Park with six horses led to a fall when he whipped anxious beasts after a ride with Thurloe. He was helped, bled, and recovered. Thurloe injured his ankle leaping from the coach, while historic accounts note Cromwell’s pursuit of fine horses and racing as part of his era.

Facing shortages, he used a scathing speech about Sharon, then Bank of California head and U S senator, as collateral to secure a loan of five thousand dollars. The plan failed when Fitch later revealed the ruse, though he obtained funds twice before his downfall.
