WCC Testimonials

Dear Bob, I just wanted to let you know how pleased we are with the carriage you custom made for us. It has worked perfectly for us in training pairs to go into our larger 18th c vehicles. It has met all our needs and we use it regularly. Thank you for working with us on this. Best regards, Richard Nicoll Director Coach & Livestock Dept Colonial Williamsburg Foundation

"Hi Bob, just a quick note to say I continue to be pleased with the Model 0. We have used it for hill toping at two hunts and everyone who rides on it has indicated that it looks great and also has a better ride than any other carriage they have ridden upon. I finally got a chance to drive a few obstacles here on the farm with it yesterday and it is unbelievable. We had both of our Jack Russells on the carriage and Aileen did not have to do much at all to keep it stable through some really tight turns. The delayed steering makes an enormous difference that appeared to give me at least an extra foot to play with in some really tight turns. Now the plan is to continue to work with my large pony pair to improve the dressage! I also am finding the Model 0 excellent to practice many dressage movements when we are driving around our neighborhood. I cannot wait to get it out in competition next year with the pair and the Model 0. We have used the Model 0 for our pony unicorn hitch also and it is an excellent vehicle for training the multiple. Needless to say I am pleased as punch with the Model 0 and thank you for all your assistance in getting it absolutely right for my pair. Knowing I have the help of a knowledgeable and honest importer/dealer with a full parts supply is so important in owning a carriage and you are TOPS!" - Ed Hopkins- Maryland

"Up here in Canada we have ice and we have snow. I need a carriage that can always go, WCC IS MY CARRIAGE !" - Randy Bird.

Greetings Bob! Here we are in action!!! 1st in Dressage, 2nd in Cones, 1st in Marathon for a combined score of just over 59, 1st overall in the Single Horse Training division. The carriage was fantastic and was everything I knew it would be. There were so many admirers of it that I'd better lock it up so it doesnt get stolen! Ha! We love it and are now even more determined to meet our goals. You'll be seeing me for a few days this Fall or Winter definitely!

Here is why I drive a WCC.I hope all is well with you and Susie.Kind regards,Randy.

ECC/WCC: First Ill clear up the ECC/WCC thing. ECC means European Carriage Company. WCC means World Carriage Company. ECC is a Polish carriage manufacturer that has been bought and sold several times and is still a very viable, quality carriage maker. The North American ECC distributor/dealer is Bob Cook and he just happens to be a neighbor of mine here in Southern Pines NC. Bob started the WCC brand several years ago to differentiate ECCs European carriage market from his North American carriage market. More simply, ECC builds carriages for Bob Cooks WCC brand name. Bob maintains a large warehouse full of carriages and parts inventory for his customers and potential customers. He has the largest financial commitment to inventory and parts than any other carriage distributor/dealer in the country. And its very much to your and my advantage. If you own an ECC or WCC carriage you dont have to look any farther than Bob Cook for parts and support. If you own other brands of carriages he can probably help you with those parts also. Case in point is my earlier discussion about Brembo brake calipers. Regardless of your brand of carriage, Bobs got Brembosboth sizes. And Bobs got brake pads for them. The older, light ECCs used a Chekolslavokian motorcycle brake caliper named JAWA. There were a lot of ECC carriages using those calipers and many are still in use. JAWA is no longer in business so replacement calipers are no longer available (although Bob may have some). However, Bob stocks JAWA brake pads for those carriages that are still rolling. The older (fifteen years or more) ECCs used a variety of master cylinders over the years and many are no longer available. Ditto for some of the brake calipers used on the older, heavy ECCs. This is a typical scenario with many older carriages of all makes. Perfectly functional carriages are parked because a component part (and a mechanic to install it) cant be found. But Ive found I can often find substitution parts and usually make them work. For most carriages ten years or newer finding parts is not a problem. Heres how to get in touch with Bob Cook: website: horsecarriages.com; email: hunterscreek@embarqmail.com ; phone: 910-693-1121. Be careful, youll call Bob for a part and end up buying a carriage. --------------------------------------------------------- HIS NAME IS DAVE QUIST OF SOUTHERN PINES AND THIS WILL BE PART OF AN ARTICLE HE IS PUBLISHING IN "THE DRIVING DIGEST".
