Hmmmm.
My daughter is called Holly. She is 29 and has just finished a 10 year career as a musician with the Mounted Household Calvary.
My son-in-law is a Farrier with the Army and a Qualified Riding Instructor.
My other daughter is 19 and training to be a riding instructor.
See where it may lead?

I am, very much so!
She joined up age 17½ and worked very hard to get into the Band of the Blues and Royals and had a wonderful career with them.
I watched her Pass Off at Knightsbridge, and various other events like Trooping of the Colour, Carols on the Hill Windsor Castle, Changing the Guard at Buckingham Palace, The Edinburgh Tattoo, and many more.

She played first Cello in the Blues and Royals orchestra and has played at many investitures and Royal garden parties.
She joined up able to play one instrument (Cello) and came out being able to play the Clarinet and Trumpet too.
She has also sung with the regimental band and has taken part in visits to Switzerland, Germany and Saudi Arabia. She has even recorded an album with the Blues and Royals.
Proud is not the word!
