Ok, so horse=no currently refers to "using a horse as a vehicle"? Does
it not also imply that the possession/leading of a horse is
prohibited?

Another problem with prohibited=* alongside *=no is that the
horse/bicycle/motorcar sometimes appears in the *key*, and sometimes
in the *value*. A bit inconsistent and confusing. But I don't have a
solution...
