Getting tired from doing any form of exercise is expected. (Yes, playing horn is a form of exercise: you're working out your lip muscles and using a lot of air.) Even so, one must always be stretching to improve their endurance with the instrument, as a runner works on improving their endurance.
Getting tired from playing the french horn can be caused by many factors:
1. Bad habbits (pressing the mouthpiece on your face, overtight muscles, etc)
2. Little practicing and/or not adding more time as you go on
3. Lack of experience (aka, it'll get easier over time)
A horn teacher at a music camp I went to once told me that, "If it's difficult, you're doing something wrong." I wouldn't say that this is always true, but there is some essence behind it.
Tips:
1. Take your mouthpiece off your horn and do lots of buzzing. I buzz sirens (slurring up and down my range) as well as some melodies that cover a wide range. (This is also a great practicing technique for harder sections)
2. Make sure you're not pushing your mouthpiece on your face. (I know... it works quite well, but it actually causes more harm than good in the long run) Instead, firm up your corners.
3. Use more air! Seriously, you can never use too much air in playing the horn.
4. Persist!!
I hope this helps! =)
