In Loving Memory of Exotic Tribal Dancer (2008–2026)
For Alyse and her mother, Exotic Tribal Dancer was far more than a horse in the barn. Born on March 2, 2008, the gray mare was by Kids Classic Style out of Exotic And Blue, and over the years she gave the family a great deal of joy.
In her younger years, she carried Alyse's mother through the hunter under saddle classes. Alyse says the memories the two of them made together are ones she will cherish forever.
In the show ring, Exotic Tribal Dancer earned a Reichert Reserve Champion title, a Region 4 Champion Select Hunter Under Saddle title, and placings at the Congress in Level 1 Hunter Under Saddle, Select Hunter Under Saddle and Performance Halter Mares.
Alyse shared that her mare's greatest accomplishments came as a broodmare, much as her dam Exotic And Blue had before her. Exotic Tribal Dancer is credited with producing NSBA and APHA World and Reserve World Champions. Her foals include Maximum Quarantime, with multiple APHA and NSBA World and Reserve World Champion titles and a Congress Top 5 finish, and Moody Blues, an NSBA Reserve Champion who also finished in the Tom Powers Top 5 and Congress Top 10.
Her other foals carried her name into the arena as well. Be Above It earned an APHA Reserve Champion Green Hunter Under Saddle title and a Pleasure Driving title, along with NSBA Top 5 and Top 10 finishes. Billy Jeann finished in the NSBA Top 10 for 3–4 Year Old Novice Horse Hunter Under Saddle and placed in the Top 3 of the Novice Youth Hunter Under Saddle and Buckskin Congress. Helloo Gorgeous has multiple NSBA Top 5 and Top 10 finishes and a Novice Champs Top 10. Quiet Riet placed Congress Top 10 and earned multiple CC Select and Junior Hunter Under Saddle placings. Its Bo Time earned multiple APHA Reserve World Champion Walk Trot Hunter Under Saddle titles.
Her younger foals continue the line: Letts Dance (2025, by IWF), Rhythmm N Bluez (2025, by Enticed), The Dancin Queen (2026, by ATF) and Helloo Beautiful (2026, by AYA). Each one carries her bloodline forward.
Alyse wrote that there is never enough time with the animals she loves. She is grateful for every year Exotic Tribal Dancer shared with the family and for every memory she gave them. She also wanted to thank the owners who believed in her mare and her babies, and who brought so much joy into the family's lives.
From all of us at StallionCompare, we extend our heartfelt condolences to Alyse, her mother, and everyone who had the privilege of knowing and loving Exotic Tribal Dancer.
Rest easy, dear mare. You gave a family a fuller life, and you will be remembered in the barn, in the show pen and in the foals who carry your bloodline forward.
