Personal Development through horsemanship
HorseBack UK inspires positive change, encourages confidence and self-esteem, and promotes recovery in an individual. Using horsemanship and outdoor activities, we deliver nationally accredited personal development and wellbeing programmes which offer our participants new coping strategies, life skills and the tools to build resilience.
HorseBack UK is a charity set up to empower service personnel and veterans suffering from life-changing injuries and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, and to aid them on their road to recovery.
The success of the first five years of courses for military personnel has allowed HorseBack UK to extend its remit and is now able to focus on the wider community.
Teenagers participate in a 15-day SQA Level 4 Certificate in Personal Development Through Horsemanship.
Over the past three years HorseBack UK has established a unique leadership and team building experience.
In the late summer of 2020 whilst chaos and fear reigned due to the COVID 19 pandemic Jock wanted to help those who had specifically been affected by it within the NHS and Care Home Systems.
We deliver the Team Programme, a twelve week course for young people between the ages of sixteen and twenty-five.

Day 2 of HorseBack UK’s Schools Development Programme
Our first cohort this year are from Aboyne Academy. They are already making incredible strides in their personal development journey.
Today, participants dove deeper into their connection with our wonderful horses, learning valuable skills like empathy, trust and mutual respect. The afternoon team-building exercises brought everyone closer together, fostering friendships, teamwork and problem solving skills.
For 13 years now, HorseBack UK has been working with and dedicated to empowering young people and strengthening our local community.
We’re so proud to see the positive impact this programme has on our young learners in our partnership with Aboyne Academy and Banchory Academy here in Royal Deeside. 🏴
Please share! 🙏
