Hare Krsna!
I was taught that we are Arjuna; with our Bow. We hand the Reins and Horses over to Shri Krishna.
Shri Krishna drives the Chariot, holding the reins and turns us always toward the target we are to hit.
In this way the Chariot/body and the Reins and Horses/senses, are completely controlled by Lord Krishna.
Since the Body and Senses have been turned over to the Lord, the Driver/soul/jiva, is completely free to focus on the targets Krishna leads him/her to. Those targets are our Service to the Lord in this material universe.

Hare Krishna Prabhuji, You are also very correct Prabhuji and Subhash Prabhuji is also correct
Hare Krishna,
Different analogies. But the underlying meaning is the same :)

Hare Krishna,
From the Kathopanishad..
The chariot stands for the human body. . The five horses which draw the chariot are the five sense organs . The reins stand for the mind. and the charioteer stands for the intellect. . The rider here is the individual jiva. . If the charioteer falls asleep or is not alert , then the reins which are to be controlled by the charioteer will become loose and then the horses will go out of control. . This then ends up in the destruction of the chariot and the rider.
Jai Radhe
The answer is Mind
the reins is Intelligence and senses are the Horses.
