What are some things I can do to get one of my barrel racing horses to slow down for western pleasure?
Tip?
Ride him slowly.
I'd recommend no contesting while you do this. Once he's going slowly, many horses can successfully do both.
Start out by taking him in the arena and just slowly riding at a walk all around the arena. THen, once he's calmed down and not expecting to race around (this may take days), do the same with a jog. When he speeds up, use the power of the circle: jog around the outside of the arena; whenever he speeds up too much turn towards the center in a small circle and keep circling (smaller and smaller) until he slows, then reward him by letting him trot again on the rail. If he speeds up, circle again until he slows, then resume. Over and over.
The circle itself slows them down, so you aren't fighting him and getting his face with the slowing down - which usually just revs them up; they don't understand slow yet.
Once you've got him slowed at the trot (which may take weeks), do the same thing at the lope.
Once you've got him going slowly at all gaits, you can teach him to put his head down, and use your legs to tell him when to turn, and to tell him to get his hind end under him in the correct frame, and so on. But first things first - calm him down and get him slow.
Good Luck! It can be done. The horse may or may not have the personality and conformation to shine in the western pleasure show ring, but it's always good to use contest horses for trail riding and other things. It helps keep them sane.

The first horse is too long loined and waspy waisted, and his hocks look too weak to hold up to the demands of barrel racing. The second horse seems overpriced for a 17 year old that has been used this hard. He is more likely to be ready for retirement. If you are going to consider buying the first one, I would rethink the discipline you go for. If you pursue the 17 year old, I would have a thorough vet exam including x rays before moving forward.
