It is such a pleasure to work with a professional crew that takes safety seriously, works to improve its crew communication and standardization, and which retrains annually. The carriage driving team at the in Farmington,
PA. comes to Bundoran to train its new hires and retrain the experienced teamsters, too. After their latest recurent training in 2008, Kenric Butler, Equestrian Center manager, writes us: "I was very happy with your Hotel Crew Training program. I think you put us through the proper paces. It's so easy to cut corners and take short cuts in the name of efficiency, yet so enjoyable to do it right knowing that every precaution was taken to ensure safety and guest service. We came away as a stronger and better team as a result of your program. The team-building aspects of your program will help us in every facet of our equestrian and guest service operation."
 From a Nemacolin crew member, (who we nicknamed "Little One" a/k/a "Hulk". She weighs about 80 pounds and can harness and very skillfully drive 4,000 pounds of horses): "... how glad I am that we came to your place in Virginia. I learned so much in just two and half days. There is so much fine detail to driving that I was unaware of the importance. I feel so much more confident in myself as far as the harness, hitching up, the wagons, driving, and working with the horses. You have a great program and you're an amazing instructor, We all got along with you so well and appreciated the joking around because that's exactly how we all are towards each other. You made me feel comfortable with any task and gave me confidence.
"Your positive attitude helped me to accomplish more and stay calm while doing it. When you had me back the wagon into the barn I have to admit that I started to become a little frustrated when I couldn't do it on the first try, but your jokes, words of encouragement and guidance helped me to succeed. Not once, the whole time I was there, did I ever feel like I couldn't accomplish a task. There isn't anything that I would tell you to change about your instructing or program. I'm not just saying that to be nice, it's truly how I feel. I had so much fun and learned more than I ever thought possible to learn in such a short time. Your instruction has turned me into a whole new driver and I appreciate everything you taught me and I know the Nemacolin is high in the Laurel Highlands
of western Pennsylvania. The hotel has been open for
years and is a delightful place to visit. Cool in
the summer, with miles of walking trails, it's perfect
for a honeymoon, quiet vacation or just for a Spa
treatment. We love it there. For reservations, give
