DOB: November 19, 1982
NFC-AFC SAN JOAQUIN HONCHO x ZUES II

Honky Tonk Hero (Boo) was from a repeat breeding litter sired by NFC-AFC San Joaquin Honcho and out of Zues II. Ed and Judy Aycock were the owners of this litter and shipped Boo to us at the age of seven weeks. Jerry Wickliffe did the basic training for Boo and afterwards he thought that he knew what he was doing. Only later did he realize that Boo deserved all the credit. Boo began training under Danny Farmer at about 14 months and spent part of each year until he was about nine with Danny. Boo had a derby career of five points and an all-age career of 184 1/2 points becoming a FC at three, an AFC at four and won the National Amateur at five. By far the better part of his career was from age six to ten; he qualified for six national opens and six national amateurs finishing four (two open and two amateur). He also won a double header. Boo had a wonderful, forgiving nature and tremendous desire to please. He always "smiled" and his tail never stopped wagging. Boo loved wagon wheel drills and bumpers were fine with him, although duck flyers were his favorite. Boo retired from field trials at 10 1/2 with a third place in his last open. He lived to age 15 with his retirement years spent living full time in the house.

Honky Tonk Hero was a doubleheader winner and ranked forth in 1991 for Amateur points. His titled offspring of include FC-AFC Pintail Poacher, FC-AFC Twin Oaks Sure shot, FC-AFC Just Ask Me, and AFC Bluegrass Banjo.
