Georgia Peach Posts: 8338 Location: Georgia	I’ve been riding my 4 year old in a knock off Loomis with a smooth mouthpiece. I love the way she works in it but when I ask her for speed on the pattern she has trouble straightening out when leaving her turns. At first I thought it was me holding onto her but she even does it when I’ve completely given her head back. What would be the next bit to go to? She is pretty light in the mouth. I have rode her one time in a tender touch and she seemed to like that, but I’m not sure if it’s the right fit. TIA
