Historical Note
Margaret McIntosh Boice was a Wyoming rancher. She was the daughter of Robert McIntosh, who arrived in the Hahn’s Peak mining district of Wyoming in 1876. McIntosh held mining and horse ranching interests in Wyoming and Colorado near Slater, Colorado. Margaret McIntosh married Fred D. Boice. The Boice family managed the PO Ranch near Cheyenne, Wyoming. The PO was headquarters for the Post Percheron Horse Association, which specialized in raising Percheron carriage horses. Fred and Margaret Boice acquired the PO Ranch in 1940. They operated the ranch as a cattle ranch.
