The Nix Family Mural...is a story about the Nix Family Ranch, their heavenly view of the Sange De Cristo mountains of Santa Fe, New Mexico for over 50 years. This mural captures the view from the late Ruth Nix's kitchen window - where she sat disabled for her last twelve years. She looked past an amazing collection of antique horse and ranch memorabilia through the arches every day.

The white pegasus - her favorite - is a symbol of the ever-constant connection between us and those in heaven. The rainbow is the family's stairway to her, as told in a touching poem written by her daughter Tosha, and was included in Ruth's standing-room only memorial and funeral.

The ever steadfast rearing stallion, Noble (the last of the family's prized racehorses, who died two years ago,) represents the enduring patriarch of the family, Robert Gene Nix.

I am proud and fortunate to say that I have lived on this ranch for the last three years and have been welcomed into this all-embracing family like no other...and all who know the Nix's, fondly call this place "Contentment Acres" for the reactions of their kind treatment of all who come here, horses and people alike.
