Crossword Genius

Take a bit for the horse (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

snaffle

I believe this is a double definition.

'take' is the first definition.
(snaffling is a kind of taking)

'a bit for the horse' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

(Other definitions for snaffle that I've seen before include "Capture" , "Pinch" , "A bit; to grab for oneself" , "Appropriate" , "Horse's bit" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
