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.

🌟 Exciting Fundraising Event Alert! 🌟
Our Youth Development Programme attendees at HorseBack UK have taken on a fantastic challenge! Tomorrow, they're camping out military style in the stunning hills of Glen Tanar, Aberdeenshire. Armed with bivi’s, roll mats, and sleeping bags, they’re living off military rations as part of their training!
This marks the 11th week of their 12-week employability course in partnership with the Kings Trust. Throughout this journey, these 6 young people have been honing valuable skills in personal development, teamwork, resilience, stress management, and overall well-being, all while preparing for the world of work.
As part of the programme, they have to conduct a fundraising exercise. So they are sleeping out under the stars after conducting conservation tasks with the Rangers from the Glen Tanar Estate and the Cairngorms Trust.
Your support is vital! Please consider donating to help them reach their fundraising goals and provide them with more opportunities. Together, we can make a difference!
💪🌍✨
