Carolyn Scott Santa Fe, NM	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #1 Jun 20, 2009 We loved Slim. We did his tree work at his house in Tesuque in 1980. My husband gave me a saddle Slim made for my birthday on May 1st.He had made for Mrs Eagn that owned Rancho Encantado. She did not like the size of the horn so I was able to get it and not have a two year wait at that time for his work. I have kept it perfect and did not use it alot because of the weight. I am thinking of selling it and do not know how to find a buyer that is looking for his work. My e-mail is goldenlink4@aol.com if you have any suggestions. Thanks he was the best and always a real kick to be around. Carolyn Scott

Mike Horwath San Luis Obispo, CA	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #3 Sep 28, 2009 Good question. Prices are all over. the trick is to find someone who wants a Slim Green Saddle. I currently have two of his saddles for sale on e bay. I just picked a price I'd be happy with and used it as a starting point.

Daily Horoscope for June 4

Aquarius

The emotional atmosphere is quite potent under this Lunar Eclipse, evoking a sense of crisis. The problems you've been experiencing with a certain person lately come to a head during the next fortnight, making you feel that you have to take drastic action or lay down the law. Yet this could make the situation worse than ever, especially if you act from a sense of panic or desperation. Take things gently and don't throw your weight around unless it's absolutely necessary.
