This is a story by a lady about a horse. It begins in the stable of a barn in Pennsylvania where the horse is about to be born-or, as horsemen say, "foaled." It follows the horse through three years of a racing career which was more remarkable for bad luck than big winnings. Involved is a white pigeon with streaks of black in its tail feathers. Wherever the horse went the pigeon followed — even if he had to fly from Pennsylvania to Florida. Some stable folk said the pigeon was responsible for the horse's bad luck — but the lady could not quite believe that. Besides, she could not get out of her head an idea implanted there when the colt first stood up on his spindly long legs not many minutes after he was born — that this colt, grown up to be a big red chestnut with a white blaze in his face, was destined somehow to be another Big Red or Man O' War. All the winnings of the other colts and fillies in the modest nursery of racing stock which she and her husband maintained went to keep this chestnut in the game. The nearest he came to being another Man O' War was to be used in trial shots for a movie about Big Red that never reached the screen. They were taken at Saratoga, where Man O' War lost his one race to a critter called Upset.

"The Gallant Heart" is not a success story, but essentially it is a true story, and there is a warmth about it in regard to people and horses which will not be missed by horse lovers- a breed of folk not yet extinct in spite of the fact that they mostly ride about in gas buggies and their horses do their road work in trucks. Mrs. McMasters is one of that breed and an easy mark for all others of the tribe-trainers, jockeys, stable boys or what not.

Anyway, it is a story about a horse and a family devoted to the horse, a family which includes a little girl who is a gallant heart, even if she is called Pinky. Paul Brown, who knows horses, has provided the pictures.

Best foam soap refill if you use the right soap dispenser
Scent: Rosewater (2 Pack), Scent: Rosewater (2 Pack)
Nice and foamy (pic shows foam dispensed at level 1 bc my kids wash their hands a lot..level 4 looks like whipped cream!) Lovely rose scent. Hands actually feel soft afterwards. Works better than I expected. This *foaming* soap specifically needs a *foaming soap dispenser*. It specifically says that on the back of the package. So for those complaining it’s a liquid and stays liquid, perhaps you’re using just a regular pump container. This soap will be my go-to to refill my automatic foaming soap dispenser. Highly recommend.

most convenient refill system
Scent: Ocean Breeze (2 Pack), Scent: Ocean Breeze (2 Pack)
I have been a fan of J.R. Watkins for a while, but these foaming hand soap refills have really sold me on the brand. I get compliments from guests almost every time they use the guest bathroom. The refill process is incredibly easy and mess-free. The spout is designed perfectly so you don't end up with wasted soap running down the side of the bottle, which has been a frustration of mine with other brands. The foam itself is rich and it doesn't just turn into water the second you rub your hands together. I love that I can reuse my dispensers while saving money and reducing plastic waste by buying the larger refill pouches. If you enjoy a high-quality foaming lather and an upscale scent, this is a perfect 5-star household staple.

Good hand soap for the price
Scent: Lemon
Great value for the price. The lemon scent smells fresh and clean without being overpowering, and the foaming soap works really well. I like that it’s alcohol-free and made with plant-based cleansers, so it feels gentle on the hands and doesn’t dry them out. The 2-pack refill size lasts a long time, which makes it even more worth it. Overall, a good buy for everyday use.

The best foaming soap. Doesn't dry out my hands
Scent: Lemon
I wash my hands many times a day and found that every other foaming soap I used was drying out my hands pretty bad. I found this at Target one day and gave it a try. No more dry hands! I bought a couple Oxo foaming soap dispensers and have been using this soap for a couple years now. The lather is thick and the soap cleans my hands well without drying them out...which was a major problem with every brand I tried previously. It also smells good, but not strong (I usually buy fragrance-free products, but this doesn't bother me at all).

Rinses beautifully without drying or residue.
Scent: Rosewater (2 Pack)
The people who post videos of the refill soap being "pure water" apparently don't realize the soap also needs the FOAMING soap dispenser in order to turn this soap into foaming soap. God Bless America! Yes, these items almost always leak when shipped, but usually not enough to return the item. The best scents are Lemon, Desert Rose, Peppermint, and Rosewater. I have been using these lightly scented foaming soaps for almost two decades. They clean and rinse beautifully with no residue. Perfect for my OCD. They never dry my hands out in the winter, regardless of how many times I wash. The refill bottles are usually an excellent value when on sale. Highly recommended! This foaming soap specifically needs a foaming soap dispenser. It specifically says that on the back of the package. For those complaining it’s a liquid and stays liquid, perhaps you’re using just a regular pump container.
