harness

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

'tackle' is the definition.
(I know that tackle can be written as harness)

I don't understand the rest of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for harness that I've seen before include "Parachute straps" , "Equine gear" , "Exploit, utilise" , "Control and use (resources)" , "riding equipment" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
