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.

🎩✨ What a night at the Mad Hatters Quiz Party at The Airedale Pub in Logie Coldstone! ✨🎩
We’re absolutely blown away — it was a sell out evening packed with fun, laughter and brilliant quiz spirit. Our very own Course Director, Jason Hare, was the compère, perfectly dressed as the Mad March Hare (and yes… the picture says it all! 🐇 😝).
Thanks to everyone’s generosity, we raised an amazing £300 on the night!
A huge shout out and heartfelt thank you to Emma and Dan at the Airedale for hosting such a fantastic event, and to all the wonderful Logie Coldstone villagers who came out to support us with their fancy dress hats. You made it a truly memorable evening.
Keep your eyes peeled… 👀
