Propably the best breed of horses for barrel racing are the Quarter Horse. They have the strong hindquarters needed in order to turn sharp corners and slow down quickly. They shouldn't be too young though, or they probably won't be mentally ready to run barrels. The best age for a full fleged barrel racer would be between six and fifteen, of course depending on the horse.

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.

To be any good for breeding, a horse should have excellent conformation, great bloodlines, a good temperament and be proven in the showring. If you breed horses that don't meet these requirements, you are adding to the useless, unwanted worthless horses sent to slaughter, or worse- neglected and abused.
