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.

It’s July already 😮 🐎 🇬🇧
We are now into July and are still working flat out delivering all our courses and programmes to various communities.
Next week sees another Military Veterans Wellbeing Course starting. And we look forward to meeting them all on Monday who are travelling up from all around the UK this weekend to attend the week long residential course. More on that course for you next week.
And last week saw our Youth Develpoment Programme in partnership with The King's Trust finishing with a fantastic final day of showcasing their endeavours, skills and achievements to family, friends and VIP’s up at the centre. They have each come so very far and three of the six head straight into employment. We are so very proud of them. A big thank you to all of you who support this fantastic programme, and a big shout out to our YDP Lead Richard Taff Teague who is the driving force behind the programme.
Have a fab weekend everyone ❤️ 🙏 ... See MoreSee Less

We sometimes say that HorseBack UK started with two people, four horses, and a dream. Well, this is one of those four horses. The tremendous, indomitable Jack the Shetland, still going strong after all these years. We all adore him, and he has put so many smiles on so many faces. ... See MoreSee Less
