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.

This has taken some time and planning but so excited to announce our new collaboration with Riding for the Disabled Association (RDA) and HartpuryA New Collaboration to Develop a Centre of Excellence for Equine Assisted Services
Hartpury, Riding for the Disabled Association and HorseBack UK are working together to develop a world-leading Centre of Excellence for Equine Assisted Services (EAS) in the South West.
This marks the beginning of a strategic collaboration focused on advancing human and equine health and wellbeing through evidence-based practice, education, research and innovation.
By bringing together Hartpury University's expertise in higher education, research and equine science, RDA's national reach and scale, and HorseBack UK's extensive experience delivering life-changing equine-assisted programmes, the collaboration will:
- Establish a recognised Centre of Excellence for Equine Assisted Services
- Develop and deliver high-quality EAS programmes
- Advance research into outcomes for both people and horses
- Create educational pathways and professional development opportunities for future practitioners
- Advance equine welfare and ethical practice through research, including the role of former racehorses in EAS
- Share knowledge and promote best practice across the UK and internationally
Together, we aim to build a stronger evidence base for Equine Assisted Services while supporting workforce development, and raising standards across the sector.
