It will be much easier to list the breeds that are good at western pleasure. Stock type horses are better suited to western riding and the general 'look' that judges like to see in western pleasure classes. Quarter Horses, Paints, Appaloosas and Arabians do well in WP classes at open shows and Arab shows. Although styles change from season to season the basic look is as follows:Level head carriage, loose reins, smooth transitions, even cadence, soft natural footfall, flat looking topline. The rider's que's should be undetectable to the judge, and back on a loose rein.

It depends. Any breed can be a barrel horse, its just whether the horse loves to run and has the desire to do it. If it doesn't have the desire, it will be a pain trying to force it to run. They can for a starter horse, but to get to the upper levels, you would need a horse more like a quarter horse, with good hindquarters, built for sprinting and turning on a dime. And the desire to barrel race is important too.you won't do well on a horse who doesn't like his job because he will protest all the way.

Almost all Paint horses are registrable as pintos provided they have the correct markings.
