Quarterhorses are generally the best for first time horse owners. But it all depends on the horse. They are generally mellow and easy keepers (don't require much of special supplements, going lame easy, ect.) They are very sturdy.

Why isn't an Arabian a good barrel horse?

They just aren't built for it. Quarter horses have the ideal barrel racing conformation, with their well defined hindquarters, they are able to jump into a run from the starting gate and turn on a dime. Arabians are not built much like quarter horses. They can be good starter barrel horses, but if you want to go to the higher levels you need a horse with the build of a quarter horse.

Does a quarter horse make a good pet if your a horseback rider?

If you get a good, non-stubborn Quarter Horse, then yes Quarter Horses are great to just ride around in. If your not going into compitions, get a slower Quarter Horse, also aging around 12-16. Gelding not stallion, I prefer mares. I have my own experience on Quarter Horses, I have 3 of them and I Barrel Race with my horse. And they are very gentle 'giants'! I recommend them.
