Can anyone recommend one in or around Birmingham?

I just took a lesson from Will Roberson at Selwood http://www.selwoodfarm.com He was the 3rd instructor I've tried and by far the best. I finally feel like I'm on the right track.
His # is 256-362-7595

Good luck.

There are tons of instructors out there. What are you looking for? I know Selwood has several people available as do most clubs. We have several traveling instructors throughout the year including Anthony Materese and John Woolley. Check with Mr Hill as I am sure he will be able to point you in the correct direction.
