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.

Which breed of horse is a good steeplechase horse and good in a harness?
The best breed of steeplechase horse would be between a Quarter Horse and a Thoroughbred. A Quarter Horse is so named because it can outrun any other horse in a quarter mile race... even a Thoroughbred. However, a Thoroughbred is more like a train, while not super fast as first, its speed will build and build until he leaves all others behind. The call on which breed to buy is yours to make. As far as the best harness horse, that depends. All draft horses do well with harnesses. Some examples are Clydesdales (the "Budweiser" horses, as they're sometimes called) Friesians, and Percherons. These horses can also be ridden under saddle. If you're wanting to pull a smaller carriage, Walking horses and Quarter horses would be the best choice.
Should you get a trail horse or barrel horse I want to barrel race but this will be my first horse would it be smarter to get a easy going horse instead of a barrel horse?
From my experience, barrel racing horses are often crazy, poorly trained horses that know only one thing: Run. They are often ridden with harsh bits because that's the only thing that can control them because again, they only know to run and that is all they've been trained to do. Not saying that all barrel racing horses are like that, but all that I've seen are. Not at all what you want for a first horse. You want an easy-going well-trained horse. I would advise a horse trained in reining. Horses trained for reining are super broke, calm, responsive well-trained horses. Not saying reining is the only way to get a horse like that, but any good reining horse is.
