USEA Foundation Announces the Janet Briggs Fund for the Continuing Education of Licensed Officials

By USEA Staff | Press Release | May 30, 2025

The USEA Foundation is pleased to announce a new initiative, the Janet Briggs Fund for the Continuing Education of Licensed Officials. Established in memory of Janet Briggs, this fund honors her lifelong dedication to the sport of eventing by supporting the ongoing education and development of eventing licensed officials.

Mrs. Briggs founded one of this country’s longest-running horse trials at the University of New Hampshire. She also directed the UNH Equine Program and shepherded many students through that program who remain active in the sport today. Mrs. Briggs was a sought-after dressage judge and held her official’s license for more than 50 years. Her legacy continues through this vital program ensuring that our current and future generations of licensed officials uphold the high standards she championed.

Donations to this program will reduce the cost of attending continuing education clinics for licensed officials. Donations can be made at https://useafoundation.org/briggs.

If you prefer to send a check, please make it payable to the USEA Foundation and mail it to 525 Old Waterford Road NW, Leesburg, VA 20176. For information on other ways to give, please contact Katherine Cooper at [email protected].

Mrs. Briggs died on Nov. 20, 2024. A celebration of her life will be held on June 7 at Meadow Farm, 454 Jenness Pond Road, Northwood, NH. The family invites all those whose lives she touched to join them in honoring and celebrating a life well lived.
