The bit on the bridle of a horse, is attached to the reins. The rider holds the reins and thus can control the horse. For example if you pull on the reins, the horse slows down or stops, because of the pressure that is placed on the horse's mouth. Likewise if you pull to the left or right with the rein (this is in English riding) the horse will turn in the direction you are pulling.
