About Us
Welcome! Cold Brook Farm is located in the beautiful town of Andover, NH. Built prior to 1900 this historic barn has been renovated and now makes a pleasing home to horse and rider. Siting on 100 acres of land with easy access to the Northern Rail Trail and Proctor Academy trails makes trail riding a dream. This new facility will be growing and making improvements daily. We have a beautiful new outdoor, built in the Spring of 2016. The 100 x 200 sand arena over looks the farm and Mount Kearsage. We have show jumps of all types, a small cross country coarse, and a round pen. Each horse at Cold Brook will be treated as if they were our own.
Meet the owners
Elisabeth Walton
Elisabeth began riding at the age of 6. After her first ride she quickly proclaimed to her mother that she would be a riding instructor and trainer one day. The dream of horses has never died. Elisabeth followed her dreams to Centenary College of New Jersey. Here she learned the ins and outs of the horse world. Doing a semester abroad at Hartpury College in Gloucester, England she learned a different view of the equine industry. They had many tools that were not available in the US such as a water treadmill, a high speed treadmill, and electrophoresis. After returning from England Elisabeth got a grooming job working for four-star event rider Kristin Schmolze. She also spent a month working for Phillip Dutton under his head groom. Both of these grooming opportunities have taught her how to provide excellent care to both horse and rider. After returning back to New Hampshire she settled down and started Cold Brook Farm. She currently teaches for the Shaker Valley Pony Club and Kimball Union Academy.
