The Arabian horse community mourns today the loss of a remarkable and beloved figure.

Marianne Tengstedt entered the Arabian horse world in the 1980s, bringing with her the passion and the dedication that has left an indelible mark on the industry.

As a respected judge, she gained admiration from breeders worldwide for her exceptional knowledge, integrity, and highly skilled judging. Beyond her professional accomplishments, she was an Instructor of ECAHO Judges and a valued member of the Executive Committee, dedicating her life to the advancement of the Arabian horse standards.

Marianne was not only a professional, but also a cherished personality. Her ever-present smile, sharp sense of humor, and unwavering kindness brought warmth and encouragement to everyone around her.

Rest in peace dear Marianne. You were not just a fine judge but a truly beautiful soul. You will be deeply missed and fondly remembered by all those who had the privilege of knowing you.
