Tracing an Ex Racer?

[MosMum]

Can anyone help me find photos online of my loan horse in his heyday?

His name is Blue Canyon, he won the National Spirit Hurdle in 2005

Francois Doumen's trained him (in France)

His Dam was nini princesse, and sire was something like "bering"

He's a 12 yr old bay, 15'3hh

Any ideas?
