Story:

After the rather... well... not so good Liberty part of the competition, Zazu hesitated if he wanted to continue. He wouldn't want to risk getting his horse too stressed, neither want to risk him getting hurt or anything. Another problem was Tazir would have to jump facing the wall, not seeing Zazu... well, they had trained for this but now that everything was rather tense... ?
In the end he decided to give it one last chance. Maybe by using his voice more instead of his sight would help already enough?
Tazir was approaching the obstacle, becoming nervous and faster as Zazu came out of sight at the turn. "Ggoooodd booyy, gooood, slooowwdoownn", his voice was warm and low. Tazir snorted, recognising his voice and listened. "Fiinne! Good! You see those way-too-underrestimating obstacles? Jump 'em!" Tazir became more relaxed, hearing his voice constantly and spotted the first obstacle quickly. Extending his strides... shortening them "...aaannnd JUMP!" And Tazir pushed his hooves off the sand, flying a bit too high over the obstacle, also the landing miight had been a bit sloppy and he almost stumbled but hey, you try jumping half-bind next time! Good enough to take the next jump aswell. "Gooodbooyy, go on! Doing awesome! 3, 2, 1... JUMP", Zazu supported his horse, trying to somehow never stop talking. And then.. the last. Another sloppy landing bbbuut an accident-free landing after all.
"AWWGOODBOOOY", Zazu praised him joyfully, "Grreeat job!" And Tazir trotted snorting towards his owner. "Awww, so so proud of youuu!" Firmly he patted the stallion's strong neck as he stopped in front of him, slipping him a little treat. "So so proud <3" He clearly wouldn't have expected to have this going ssoo smoothly. And led him off the place.
