Remarkable lives – Laura Scranage in conversation with Robert Hurst

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to share Laura Scranage’s story. Design/methodology/approach Laura wrote a short piece detailing her journey and was then interviewed by Robert. Findings Laura spoke about the difficulties she has faced in life and how her experiences with horses have been deeply therapeutic. Research limitations/implications Recovery narratives such as this give us an overview of only a single person’s experiences. However, they allow the person with lived experience to explore their story in depth. Practical implications Laura advocates for more research into how horses can be used in therapeutic interventions. Social implications There is so much to learn from a story such as Laura’s, for those who have had similar experiences and for those who work in mental health services. Originality/value This is the first time that Laura has chosen to share her unique story.
