Hill 'n' Dale was founded in 1960 in Ontario, Canada by Czechoslovakian immigrant John Sikura, Jr.[1] Following John's death in an automobile accident in 1994,[2] Hill 'n' Dale's American and Canadian operations were taken over by sons John G. Sikura and R. Glenn Sikura, respectively.[1]
Hill 'n' Dale closed its Lexington operations in October 2020 and the entire roster of horses was moved to Xalapa Farm in Paris, which John G. Sikura purchased in 2019.[4] The operation is now referred to as "Hill 'n' Dale at Xalapa."
