Piece of metal held in the mouth of a horse by reins in order to control the animal while riding (3)

I believe the answer is:

bit

(Other definitions for bit that I've seen before include "'Part, fragment (3)'" , "which is between one's teeth?" , "Mouthpiece of brindle or tip of drilling tool" , "Part of 21 across" , "Sank teeth in" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
