Solution
Bootstrap 2.3.2:
<form class="form-horizontal">
<fieldset>
<div class="control-group">
<label class="control-label">Select:</label>
<div class="controls">
<select>
<option value="1">Option 1</option>
<option value="2">Option 2</option>
<option value="3">Option 3</option>
</select>
</div>
</div>
</fieldset>
</form>
Bootstrap 3.x:
<form role="form" class="form-horizontal">
<fieldset>
<div class="form-group">
<label class="col-sm-2 control-label">Select:</label>
<div class="col-sm-3">
<select class="form-control">
<option value="1">1</option>
<option value="2">2</option>
<option value="3">3</option>
</select>
</div>
</div>
</fieldset>
</form>
`col-sm-2` and `col-sm-3` define the widths for you can change accordingly. Have a look at the Grid system on the Bootstrap site to see the different variations.
Hope this helps
