hey y’all!

I’m Brenna Nix, the owner of Cheyenne Ranch and this is my beautiful family – my husband, Cody, and our son, Cohen!

We have lived in the Waxahachie area all our lives and love our beautiful historic square. For Cheyenne Ranch to be part of it is truly a dream come true and we couldn’t be more honored to be here.

We have had a wonderful welcome from the local businesses and customers, and we often get the same sequence of questions - “Is there a Cheyenne ranch?” “Is your name Cheyenne?” “Are you from Cheyenne, Wyoming?” Well, I have yet to see Cheyenne, Wyoming, and one day, God willing, Cheyenne Ranch will be a place we call home.

Let me tell you our back story: In 2018, when Cody and I married, I was in the medical field working at Baylor. We had plans to start our family soon. Along came the news that a baby was on its way! While we always thought that we wanted to start with a boy, we quickly became very certain that this baby was going to be a little cowgirl, and we wanted to name her ‘Cheyenne Landry’. God does have a sense of humor. On gender reveal day, low and behold, IT’S A COWBOY!

Completely shocked, the visions of our family came flooding in. My husband is an outdoor enthusiast, a hunter, and could often be found bull riding at the Cowboy Church on Thursday nights or playing baseball. I grew up riding horses, competed in shows at the local barns and ranches around

the county, and rode in many parades here in Waxahachie. We envisioned raising our son in those same environments.

Fast forward baby arrives, maternity leave ends, and going back to work was going to be bittersweet. I knew that I wanted to have more time at home but not working wasn’t part of our plan. Cody and I sat down to figure out how to make this work while making ends meet. Ideas started flying.

I have always loved western fashion and finding unique pieces to create outfits that tell a story about who you are without ever having to say a word. Combining the cowboy way of life with a love for fashion, Cheyenne Ranch was born. It’s about a lifestyle. It represents so much, and we have our little guy to thank for it. He was the inspiration behind chasing this dream and we’ve never looked back.

So, as we begin our 4th year with Cheyenne Ranch in our new location, we are so proud to drive into Downtown Waxahachie and see our sign hanging right there in view of our beautiful courthouse! I know we have so many more milestones and memories to make.

See ya’ll next time!
