He travelled to the UK, joined The Life Guards and, to his initial horror, as he had never sat on a horse before, his first regimental duty was to undergo riding instruction. Corie was the first black Barbadian to ride on Trooping the Colour, and to perform other ceremonial duties in London. In 2008, he was posted to the Household Cavalry's armoured regiment, where he served with Prince Harry. This was followed at the end of 2009 by a tour in Afghanistan where, the armoured car that he was driving ran over an IED. Being a double amputee has not deterred Corie from becoming a remarkable sportsman including participating in the Invictus Games, and then winning numerous international para bobsleigh world titles. Whilst Corie continues to compete in para bobsleigh at the highest levels, he joined the Wilshire Police in 2020. He lives in Swindon with his wife and three daughters.vizualizați mai puține
