The Arabian horse and the Quarter horse are two totally different breeds.
The Arabian horse originated from Arabia (a desert climate) and were bred for long-distance endurance and finesse. In today's world, Arabians are often used in dressage and endurance riding. They are known for being a lot more hot-headed than Quarter horses and are usually for more advanced riders.
Today's Quarter Horses are mostly used as western horses and cow horses. They got their name because they are one of the fastest horses up to the quarter mile (but cannot usually run longer distances). Quarter Horses are known to be rather calm and quiet creatures and are often trained for beginner riders.
There is a mix breed called a Quarab (which is a mix between an Arabian and a Quarter Horse) that takes on qualities of both breeds. These are usually bred for the Quarter Horses calm attitude and the Arabians endurance capabilities.

∙ 11y agoThis is all a matter of preference.
A Quarter horse will (as a general rule) be calmer and better for western events than an Arabian, simply because a quarter horse has been bred for western events and has the perfect conformation for it.
Arabians will be higher-spirited (again, as a general rule- there are a few calm Arabians. But most are really "hot" and energetic, super sensitive and can be hard to handle for inexperienced riders). They aren't built much for western events, but they can be ridden western. Tommy Garland trains Arabians for western events actually. But most Arabians are used for English events.
Both breeds can be used in either western or English. Both are very intelligent (as a general rule). The main difference is the Arabian is a hot-blood breed, making them more quick-tempered and high-spirited, while the Quarter horse is a warm-blood breed, making them calmer, and the quarter horse is known for being easy-going.
Also, the Quarter Horse was bred for western needs. The Arabian was bred in the desert for endurance and beauty, so this influences their uses. Both are good breeds.
Neither is better than the other if you look at it in a non-biased way. If you want a nice calm horse or you wanted to ride western, you'd probably go for a quarter horse. If you wanted more of a challenge to handle, you'd look for an Arabian, so it depends on what you want in a horse that will decide which breed is best for you.
