What Wikipedia says

The bit is an item of a horse's tack. It usually refers to the assembly of components that contacts and controls the horse's mouth, and includes the cheekpieces and mouthpiece, all described here below, but it also sometimes simply refers to the mullen, the piece that fits inside the horse's mouth.
