Hill n Dale Farms was incorporated in Kentucky in 1987. The original Hill n Dale was founded in Canada in 1960 by John Sikura Jr., the father of Hill n Dale owner and president John G. Sikura. Hill n Dale Farms encompasses 950 rolling acres of prime Kentucky bluegrass, on the site of the former North Ridge Farm, the Eclipse Award winning breeder of 1989. Hill n Dale has operated a high quality sales agency since its inception and began standing stallions in the mid 1990s. Today, the farm has developed into one of the premier full-service thoroughbred operations in the world.
Hill n Dale currently stands some of the most exciting young stallions in the business, including 2002 champion two-year-old Vindication, 2006 leading juvenile sire Stormy Atlantic, leading 2nd crop sire El Corredor, champion and track-record setter Candy Ride (Arg), and Grade 1 winner Roman Ruler. In addition, Hill n Dale offers the living legend Theatrical (Ire), sire of over 20 Grade 1 winners lifetime; the versatile and impeccably-bred Mutakddim, a top 20 general sire; Grand Reward, a royally-bred young Grade 2-winning son of Storm Cat and Serenas Song; and our newest stallion Seeking the Best, a Group stakes-winning millionaire by Seeking the Gold out of $5 million mare Mackie.
Hill n Dale also operates one of the leading sales agencies in North America. In 2006, Hill n Dale Sales Agency had perhaps its finest year ever as it finished as the 4th overall leading consignor by gross at the Keeneland September Yearling Sale and 3rd overall at the Keeneland November Breeding Stock Sale. Highlights included selling a $4.6-million colt by Vindication in September, a record for a freshman sire.
Hill n Dale offers a full-service bloodstock division that offers auction representation at every major North American sale, and the ability to buy and sell stallion seasons, shares, and racehorses publicly or privately. We assist our clients with a portfolio management program to help them achieve their goals in the equine business.
In addition to our services, we are also a large boarding facility that offers world-class care to our residents. Hill n Dale is home to some elite broodmares, including Horse of the Year Azeri; two-time champion Silverbulletday; Quendom, the dam of 2006 Horse of the Year Invasor (Arg); Better Than Honour, the dam of Belmont Stakes winners Rags to Riches and Jazil; as well as Grade 1 winners Madcap Escapade, Starrer, Hollywood Story, Point Ashley, Diplomat Lady, Lady Tak and Behaving Badly.
Hill 'n' Dale is also the final resting place for the legendary racehorse and stallion Seattle Slew, winner of the 1977 Triple Crown and leading sire of such horses as A.P. Indy, Slew o' Gold, Landaluce and countless others.
Hill n Dales prime location allows for easy access to the finest veterinary care in the world. We are less than 15 minutes from Rood and Riddle Hospital and Hagyard Equine Medical Institute.
