Controlling straps (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

reins

'controlling straps' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for reins that I've seen before include "Straps to control" , "Checks" , "Power to direct and control" , "Control for horses" , "Rider's straps" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
