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.

The Importance of Cross-sector Learning ‼️
Today HorseBack UK has had the incredible opportunity to deliver the final session of three motivational talks on teams and leadership to Vestas, a global leader in renewable energy. Vestas is known for their innovation in wind energy solutions, driving the future towards sustainability!
During the engaging sessions, the talks explored the essence of high-performing teams. The insights shared emphasised the importance of collaboration, resilience, and personal growth in achieving outstanding results.
With the guidance of Jock and Jay from HorseBack UK, Vestas team members are discovering how to strengthen their bonds, enhance communication, and foster a culture of continuous improvement. Together, we're creating a brighter, more sustainable future through empowered and cohesive teamwork.
Thank you, Vestas, for welcoming us into your journey! 🌱 💪

🏕️ Last week was full of laughter and teamwork for our incredible pupils from Aboyne Academy participating in the Schools Development Programme! They took on a fun and challenging timed team task, constructing makeshift shelters as quickly as possible with minimal resources and equipment.
The challenge? To ensure the shelters were waterproof and stable enough to withstand a bucket of water!🤔
As you can see from the video, things didn't go exactly as planned 😂 it was a hilarious spectacle filled with good times and memorable moments!
Tasks like these are vital for children’s learning. They encourage collaboration, problem-solving, and creative thinking while fostering essential team dynamics. Kids not only learn practical skills but also build confidence in their abilities to work together and tackle challenges. Plus, experiencing failure helps them understand resilience and adaptability—skills that will serve them well in life!
We're so proud of their spirit and teamwork. Keep shining, Aboyne Academy! 🌞
