Prescott Guide shares tips for horseback riding in Prescott

Prescott Guide is your source for enjoying all Prescott has to offer.
What better way to explore Prescott's legendary cowboy country than on horseback? If you haven't already done so, Prescott Guide invites both visitors and locals to explore our scenic countryside. What are you waiting for? Here are a few tips to help you make the most of your horseback riding adventure.
  • Regardless of your plans, the weather, situations from a trip earlier in the day, and trail conditions all offer potential delays meaning schedules can vary slightly. Take your time, enjoy the day, and please be patient and forgiving when it comes to your horseback riding schedules.
  • Guides, like the rest of us who love what we do, can be entertaining, informative, and a joy to be around. But like most of us, guides, as well as horses, can get tired by the end of a long day. So, if you're able, plan to go riding earlier in the day when everyone's energy is high.
  • It's always a good idea to stay well-hydrated but there's a little bit of a downside...potty breaks. Go before you leave. There are usually no restrooms on a trail ride.
  • Plan for the paperwork. There is a little business to be taken care of first. Signing waivers, evaluating your riding abilities, and an overview of the ride will likely be handled before anyone saddles up.

Let your guide know that you enjoyed your horseback ride - and their expertise and entertaining stories - with a tip. Most guides do this because they love it and want to share it with others. Express your appreciation for their time and efforts by being generous.

Before there were any baseball legends or superheroes there were cowboys. Horseback riding is a thoroughly American thing to do and Prescott Guide hopes that you make the most of your time surveying Prescott the way our grand cowboys did, and still do today.

Prescott Guide invites you to explore the Arizona Softball Hall of Fame in Prescott

Image
Being in the “Wild West” means that Prescott has a rich history. With all of these historical sites, it is easy to overlook some of our more recent history. At Prescott Guide, one of our favorite places to visit in Prescott is the Arizona Softball Hall of Fame (ASHF). It may not seem like much at first glance, but it deserves a second look. We want to invite you to explore this fascinating historical archive. History of the Arizona Softball Hall of Fame The foundation was formed in 1973. It honors Arizona’s greatest teams, players, and coaches of fast-pitch softball - both men and women. For unknown reasons, the ASHF stopped operations from 1980 to 2000 but was rekindled when a group of retired fast-pitch players formed a new committee. For a long time, the ASHF did not have a permanent home and frequently moved around. But in 2005, it found a permanent home in Prescott. Inductees The first person to be inducted into the Arizona Softball Hall of Fame was Art Funk. Art was the sponso...

Granite Dells Prescott is a mile-high city, boasting scenic areas of pine forests, lakes, hills, and interesting rock formations.
