Stanza 9 of the song reads: At the end of the poem, the valkyries sing "start we swiftly with steeds unsaddled—hence to battle with brandished swords!"

Dörruð leaves the chink in the wall and heads home, and the women mount their horses and ride away; six to the south and six to the north.

The report of General Stahel mentions two captains from the 1st (West Virginia) Cavalry: William Harris, who led CompanyC; and William McCoy, who led CompanyF.

The Scottish soldier John Nicholl described "a drakie nycht full of wind and weit" (a dark night full of wind and wet) and many Scottish soldiers attempted to shelter in the corn stooks. Their officers scattered across the countryside in search of sounder shelter, their cavalry went foraging and unsaddled most of their horses and Major General James Holborne ordered that the musketeers should extinguish their slow match except for two men per company. By around 4:00 am the English troops had reached positions approximately where Cromwell intended them to be; none of them had made the mistake in the dark of going too far and alerting the Scots to their manoeuvres. John Lambert's brigade of three cavalry regiments was positioned abreast of the road; Robert Lilburne's brigade of a further three cavalry regiments was positioned behind it.

The gelding ran another 20 races over the next seven months to no avail before finishing third in minor events at Uttoxeter and Market Rasen in May 1997. After another long run of unplaced efforts he produced what was arguably his finest performance in the Catterton Novices' Chase at Wetherby Racecourse on 25 May 1998. Starting the 33/1 outsider of the five-runner field he led for most of the way and kept on well after being overtaken to finish second, two lengths behind the winner Toskano. Quixall Crossett's assistant trainer Geoff Sanderson, who also ran the horse's fan club commented, "We brought him back to be unsaddled and he got the most tremendous cheer you've ever heard on a race course... The horse doesn't know he gets beat because he gets a bigger cheer than the winner". Over the next sixteen months Quixall Crossett ran 24 times and managed one third place when coming home last of the finishers in the Hartwell Ford Novices' Chase at Market Rasen on 8 August.
