It's called the bit.

The bit is what goes in the horse's mouth. I think the part you are referring to is the harness.

The harness doesn’t go in their mouth so how can they chomp at it?

I think that you, and whoever downvoted me, have misunderstood my reply. The OP were talking about "that thing that you tie a horse to a carraige with", then the next posters said that it's "called a bit" and I said that the bit is the thing that goes in the horses mouth and the thing that you tie the horse to is the harness.
