Laurens rides his Grand Prix partner, Ulysees la Haya in a normal daily training session.  He talks about how he works a lot on his own aids and making them as minimal as possible. Laurens makes sure that Ulysees is responding to his half halt, but doesn't want him to slow down and offers a resisting hand until he gets light again. He adds bend with an uphill tendency, and when It's good he asks for the trot half pass.  He finishes the warm up with beautiful trot half passes and then covers the response to the aids needed to succeed at the top.  In the canter Laurens uses small leg aids, only adding the spur if he doesn't get the response from the small aid.
