This book is an introduction of sorts into the world of Equido. Equido is more than an equestrian qualification, it is an ethos, a way of thinking and interacting with your horse that should enable you to step into a world of possibilities that you did not even know existed. Equido strives to show you a new way, fit for this new century, of looking at all manner of horsemanship, from stable management, training, competing and rehabilitation, all from the horses' point of view because it is only when we look at things through their eyes that we can truly understand what it means to be a horse and understanding is the first step in communication. You may have seen or heard about great horsemen and women and how they seemed to have a natural empathy or feel for a horse. They seemed able to almost "think" with their horses till the line between human and equine became blurred. You may (like most people) have wondered what this illusive feel actually was, what it meant to the rider and the horse and how it impacted on the way they work together. Many of you may even have been inspired by these horsemen to take your first tentative steps into the world of horses.By following the principles of Equido the rider and the horse can both enjoy the experience.

Michael Scott's early years in rural Gloucestershire laid the foundation for his lifelong interest in landscape and wildlife. Although he qualified as a biologist and acquired a PhD, his feeling for the beauties and tragedies of nature was diverted for years by his agricultural research and senior management posts. He became a part-time field botanist and ornithologist, and developed his skills as a landscape painter, which activities counterpoised the commercial environment. In the last twenty years, Michael has worked in the personal development field and became a poet, novelist and artist. His first novels, the 'Fairley Quartet' and 'Imago', carry the themes of his new life, while later novels such as 'Brothers' and 'Nirvana Highway', also draw upon his experience of Transpersonal Psychology. In 'The Inward Eye', Michael features over 80 of his paintings with explanatory texts. Michael is married and he and his wife Eileen, also a novelist and painter, have their home in York.

If you are living with diabetes you'll understand that food and your health are intrinsically linked. Most diets fail because they don't bring the long-term benefits of weight-loss combined with better health - shockingly, research has shown that a large proportion of the weight lost as a result of most dietary approaches consists of healthy lean tissue rather than body fat. 'the 6 diet' is different because it focuses on YOU. Recognising that individual nutritional needs to meet your own health and weight-loss goals is key to your success, this is no one-size-fits-all diet! This approach uniquely brings together the most up-to-date scientific nutritional knowledge with the traditional principles of Chinese dietetics, a fusion developed by Elaine Wilson over a decade of clinical work with patients and clients seeking to lose weight AND improve their health.Based on proven weight-loss principles 'the 6 diet' ticks all the boxes to promote: *Proper blood sugar control *Easy abdominal fat loss *More energy and vitality Endorsed by internationally renowned nutritional expert: "The 6 Diet makes good nutritional sense, applying the latest principles of optimum nutrition and low GL diet, rather than the outdated low fat, low calorie approach, coupled with the wisdom of traditional Chinese principles about vital energy which, I believe, is a core element ignored in western approaches." Patrick Holford, founder of the Institute for Optimum Nutrition
