"But when he had bought a watch with precious stones set in the case so large that they hurt his ribs, and a California saddle with silver nails and Angora skin suaderos, and ordered everybody up to the bar for whisky--what else was there for him to spend money for?"
Suadero is the tender meet from the lower part of a beef rib. ...
Another example of how the dictionary definition doesn't fit the context. It sounds as though it means something soft to make the saddle more comfortable.

According to my Diccionario de Mejicanismos suadero is a vulgar variant of sudadero, a term used by cowboys and peasants for saddle blanket.

I thought I had a burr under my saddle.And sudadero gave me an idea. I searched for "sudor" and got a Mexican site for treatment of hyperhidrosis. Sweat may be a forbidden word in Virginia, but south of the border it could be a problem requiring a special saddle blanket.
