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.

Is barrel racing dangerious?

Horses have a mind of their own so yes any kind of horse riding could be considered dangerous but Barrel Racing is definitely going to be on the higher danger scale. I mean you're running break neck speeds around barrels if you're advanced and any fall off a horse can hurt. So yes ultimately it's dangerous but it you have the proper training, a good horse, and are safely equipped and don't try to do things in a dangerous way such as velcro or rubber band your feet to the stirrups you should have a great experience and be able to get right back on if you have the occasional fall.
