The quarter horse is the most commonly used barrel racing horse. However, any horse used for most western things can do it, like paints. Any horse can barrel race actualy, just horses built like a quarter horse are the best because they have a nice power house in the hind quarters that let them jump into a run easily, and the build also allows for turning on a dime.

Paint horses are good at speed. crossbred horses that are good in dressage, gallop, and speed are awesomely good too.
