You have to have an athletic horse to start with. You need to take lessons on how to ride and train your horse also if you are just beginning. It is important to work on the pattern slowly at first so that your horse has a good pattern before you run it. You need to make sure that your horse can do the pattern perfect every time at a walk, then a trot, and finally a lope before your attempt to run him. You want to make sure that he has good turns, pockets, and leaves to the next barrel also. Depending on the horse, size, and athletic ability will depend on how you run him. For example, if you have a bigger horse, he will probably need a bigger pocket (space between him and the barrel) than say a smaller horse who is likely more flexible.
