**1. Introduction**

This chapter presents the findings from a feasibility study of an equine assisted intervention (EAI) which is currently referred over 160 people with mental health and behavioural problems each year. Performing a feasibility study may be indicated when, "there are few previously published studies or existing data using a specific intervention technique" [1].

The framework used for this feasibility study has been designed to underpin public health feasibility studies and outlines eight areas of focus which will be addressed here [1]: Acceptability, demand, implementation, practicality, adaptation, integration, expansion and limited efficacy testing.
