What is a good brand used western saddle for trail riding?

Western Horse Saddles
I have many years experience riding english sport horse disciplines, but have NO experience with western. I know that purchasing a good quality, used saddle is much better than buying a new, cheaper saddle. Can anyone tell me some good brands? I am looking to spend no more than $300.00, but I don't mind the age of the saddle; as long as it's sound.

Billy Cook saddles are awesome.

Billy Cook is good, but only ones made in Oklahoma, if they were made in Greenville Texas they were made after they were bought out so they are not near the same quality. (I have 2 Oklahoma made one barrel saddle and one flat seat cutter…and one Texas barrel saddle which i hate) (my Oklahoma Billy Cook barrel saddle is my favorite saddle ever and i have over 25 western saddles)
TexTan’s are good comfy saddles might be a little out of price range though.
Circle Y- all of their saddles are pretty good. they can be expensive but you should be able to find one for your price. (have a circle y barrel saddle and western show saddle love them both)
Crates saddles are really nice maybe little expensive. (i have two the one i ride most is a flat seat cutter that i ride my little reiner in and the only complaint i have is that it is a slick seat so i tend to slide with our sliding stops lol.
***also try going to a horse auction most of them sell saddles right before they sell horses and that is a good way to get opinions on a saddle and see a variety
Hope i helped
