I don’t know anything about horses, but definitely take a look at Prescott. Just to name a few other places you might be interested in: Cottonwood, Sedona, maybe Queen Creek. Maybe Casa Grande, Coolidge, Florence.
I like Kentucky because of the beautiful rural scenery, not to mention how scenic it is, especially in the Central Kentucky area (Lexington, Versailles, Frankfort, Lawrenceburg and Richmond). I’m looking for a city in Arizona that’s like those; rural, scenic, has horses, fuses suburbs with rural living and is close to the capital or largest city (in Arizona’s case Phoenix).

You’re not going to find too many horse farms in the Phoenix area. Most animal based farms in the area are for cattle.
And as for a combination of rural and suburban, the divide is a lot firmer in Arizona since farmland tends to get developed in large chunks as suburban communities. The farms don’t have any relationship with the suburbs except as a place to drive through until the land gets developed.
And it is not going to be close to downtown Phoenix. Unlike Lexington, there was never a growth boundary chosen for the Phoenix area. Development has sprawled pretty far, only really limited by mountain parks and Indian reservations.
