The story

Sparks from the Smiddy tells the life story of David Wilson, a sixth generation blacksmith and world champion farrier (a craftsman who trims and shoes horses' hooves). The book includes details of David's memories of annoying his father as a child by nailing horse shoes to the smiddy floor, his first experience of trying to catch a horse, the hard work he put into learning his trade, along with picking up and running the family business. The story follows the highs and lows of David's earliest competitions through to his ultimate win at the 1985 World Championship in Calgary, Canada. And, it concludes with tales of the travel opportunities that his work and successes opened up to him, including meeting the Princess Royal in 1995. Told in a humorous yet modest style, and including 60 of David's photos, Sparks from the Smiddy sheds light on this previously unreported aspect of working and shoeing horses, helping readers to understand the skills of a farrier and giving a nostalgic look back over this important part of rural life.

Product leaks into the cap
Size: 3.4 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Size: 3.4 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
The packaging appears to be defective and potentially tampered with. Specifically, the nozzle is a different color from the rest of the tube—one that is not consistent with the brand’s standard packaging (I am familiar with this brand and have purchased it before). Additionally, the cap does not close properly, causing the product to leak into the lid and resulting in unnecessary waste. This raises serious concerns about the product’s authenticity, quality control, and whether it may have been previously opened or altered.

Great for Sensitive Skin
Size: 32 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I’m a 30 yr old woman with very sensitive skin, eczema, and dermatitis. Even Castile soap makes my scalp burn. I have tried many shampoos but all have caused scalp irritation almost immediately. Luckily I found this shampoo. It has a very nice, natural type of scent, which I love. It has never caused any irritation on my scalp. It does not lather as much as most shampoos, but it is just as effective at removing oil and skin buildup. I think it’s a good value given the organic ingredients and the care in avoiding harmful surfactants and other chemicals. This refill bag lasts me about 3 months and I have very long, almost waist length hair. I am very satisfied and I have bought this many times and will continue to do so. I hope the formula never changes!

For babies and fur babies
Size: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This is a great baby soap. It smells pleasant, lathers well and mostly importantly gets your baby clean without leaving them too dry. The ingredient list is quite healthy. I'm a fan. I've also used this on my pets with great success. My cat and dog both were washed with this. Their skin wasn't irritated, they weren't red looking nor did they have an allergic reaction to the product. I find this to be far better than anything actually for pets. For a small pet this bottle last quite a while. The larger pets you'd need to use more of it more so considering how dirty they can get. Overall for my family's needs this has been a very great buy.
