Ok, this will be long. Barrel racing is a sport where mostly women race in a cloverleaf pattern and try to get the fastest time. The best horses for this sport tend to be quarter horses, but I, as a barrel racer, prefer palominos. It is important that the horses used have the athletic ability and are treated like athletes. This sport does not abuse horses because the horses used are properly trained and love what they do. MOST people that race a lot have backup horses as well so that their main horses can get a break. My horse is named Gold Dust and I think there are some really cool names out there. I also like the concept of a registered name and a barn name so I call my horse Firefly. I'm not at a super intense level so I only have one horse. Actually I am just starting but I have known a lot about the sport for a long time. Hope this helps. If you want to know more you should watch a barrel race vlog. I find it easier than explaining it to everyone to have them watch one.
Mostly barrel racing, but also short races. They were bred for quarter miles races many years ago, hence the name Quarter Horse.
If you mean the ones that horses commonly wear when racing then they are also called blinders.

The horses owner typically thinks of a name and submits it to the racing secretary for approval. Rules vary from breed to breed, but thoroughbreds are the most popular race horses and they have certain limits and rules on names. If the racing secretary denies the name the owner must submit another one for approval.
