Information wanted- Handy Money

[caramel]

Hi all!
Looking for any information regarding my horse Handy Money. He's a 14 year old TB gelding, about 17hands (v.large wither!). I bought him in June from a dealer called Dilys from Melton Mowbray Sales (he never went through the ring thank goodness!). I believe Dilys brought a lorry load (including Handy) from Bath.
He left Alan King's yard in 2007, and Point to pointed a couple of times trained by Richard Barber. I believe he only had 2 starts pointing neither of which were successful. I was told he whipped in for the mendip hunt (can't find any pics of hin hunting though).

I'd love to know what happened to him since leaving Richard Barber's in 2008. The lady I bought him from has been far from helpful. I have his passport, and on that I'm the third registered owner (the other 2 having been Mick Ryan, and Alan King his former trainers). I wonder if anyone on here who hunted with the Mendip remembers him?
He's a wonderful boy who'll stay with me forever and ever He's not a novice ride (can be rather strong!)
Here's a picture:

Thank you!

thank you so much MHOL! I had no idea! She had some lovely looking cob types aswell as Handy, I was so taken by him they sold him to me before he went through After reading stuff I'm so glad they did. His feet were a right mess (despite them insisting he'd been shod recently), farrier's having to completely re-shape his feet. I've had his vaccinations restarted, and back checked every 6 months. Handy had issues that I rang Dilys about.. she was very unhelpful and I haven't contacted her again.
She gave me very little info about him and seemed ok at the time. I had an amazing hack on him today and I would never part with him, and I've had to learn all about him.

Thank you so much MHOL xx
