55 basto
(Sp. model spelled same [básto] < Vulgar Latin * bastum 'packsaddle')Mexico and California: 1881. According to the DARE, "the skirt of a saddle; also, the leather lining of a saddle." The DRAE notes the American usage of this term and defines it as the cushions that make up the saddle pads. Santamaría mentions that the term is usually plural, bastos, and that it refers to two pieces of leather that rest on the frame of a saddle and protect the backside of the horse. They can be made several ways and are generally lined with coarse woolen cloth or unshorn sheepskin. Cobos defines basto as a "saddle skirt made of sole leather lined with undressed lambskin."Alternate forms: bastas, bastos.Also sometimes referred to as sudadero.
