reined in

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

'stopped a horse' is the definition.
'reined in' can be an answer for 'stopped' (I've seen this before). I'm unsure of the 'a horse' bit.

'being wildly inconsiderate snubbing ascot' is the wordplay.
'being wildly' indicates an anagram.
'snubbing' indicates named letters should be taken away.
'inconsiderate' with 'ascot' taken away is 'innidere'.
'innidere' with letters rearranged gives 'REINED IN'.

'from' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for reined in that I've seen before include "Curbed" , "'Slowed, checked (6,2)'" , "Slowed up one's horse" , "Checked - stopped" , "restricted" .)
