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.

👀 Seconds Out: Round 2 for Peter Cowie 🥊
After a very close fight last time and raising an amazing £275 for HorseBack UK, Peter Cowie is stepping back into the ring again! If you saw his last bout (video: red corner), you’ll know he leaves everything in there. Get behind him… because trust us, you definitely don’t want to be in front of him 😅
Peter came through one of our Pupil Personal Development Courses from Aboyne Academy, and seeing his confidence, discipline, and determination shine like this makes us incredibly proud.
Let’s show him some support and help him smash his fundraising goal this time. Every donation and share counts!
