Xalapa Farm is an American thoroughbred horse breeding stable near Paris, Kentucky.
[1] Edward Simms imported the famous French horses Prince Palatine and Negofol to stand at stud at Xalapa Farm.
Over the years, best known among the horses bred at Xalapa Farm were graded stakes race winners such as Suave Dancer who in 1991 won the Irish Champion Stakes and Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe, and “blue hen” broodmare Hildene who was sold to Christopher Chenery in 1939 following Edward Simms' death.
For Chenery, Hildene produced the 1950 American Horse of the Year Hill Prince as well as Champion First Landing who sired U.S.
In October 2020, Hill 'n' Dale closed their operations in Lexington and the entire stallion roster was relocated to Xalapa.
