Dovecote Equestrian at Dodon is owned and operated by Janice Binkley. Janice Binkley’s professional career started at seven years old, taking weekly lessons at a local stable. She soon joined Pony Club, eventually achieving the “A” certification, the highest attainable Pony Club level and becoming one of Jim Wofford’s first students after his brief retirement, along with high-caliber equestrians such as Lucinda Green, Donnan Monk, Eric Herbeman, and Eric Smiley. At the pinnacle of her Eventing career, Janice reached the horse trials in one and two star events, training all of her own mounts. Galloping racehorses at Larking Hill Farm, Janice trained off the track Thoroughbreds (OTTBs), many of which have gone on to have highly successful second careers in Eventing. Serving 15 years on the board of the Marlborough Horse Trials at Rosaryville, Janice served as the cross country coordinator during that time, working closely with esteemed course designer Roger Haller to design and construct cross country courses for the trial. In 2018, Janice took over direction of Dodon Farm, the former home of the Retired Racehorse Project, turning the focus to be a high-quality teaching facility for amateurs and professionals alike. With 35 years of teaching experience, Janice has a passion for instructing adult amateur riders and helping them pursue their goals.
