I believe the answer is:

blinkers

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'screens attached to bridle' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'len brisk replacing' is the wordplay.
'replacing' indicates an anagram (re-placing: placing the letters again).
'len'+'brisk'='lenbrisk'
'lenbrisk' with letters rearranged gives 'BLINKERS'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for blinkers that I've seen before include "Limiters of horse's vision" , "Horses' eyeshades?" , "They prevent a horse from seeing sideways" , "They prevent a horse from looking sideways" , "what might be placed on racehorse" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
