We last saw Nick Gauntlett and El Grado at the CCI3* in Puhinui last year just before Nick flew the Australian off the track thoroughbred, purchased from Australian rider Nat Davies, back to the UK.
It took a little while for El Grado to recover from the flight and change in hemispheres but he is now competing at one of the biggest events in the world - the Mitsubishi Motors Badminton Horse Trials
We caught up with Nick straight after their dressage test for a chat
