Surely highway=bridleway has been around forever? It was certainly there
when I started editing in 2007.
surely this was there, but the German sign for a bridleway excludes pedestrians and
bicycles and is rarely found in the real life, while ways without any signs aren't that
rare, but no-one in Germany would think of calling those "bridleways"
Thanks Martin, I just learned that such a sign exists,
defining the bridleway in the German traffic code (StVO):

Thus what is tagged in my area as bridleway is typically
a forestry track on which a small sign, more like the UK one
in the OSM wiki, by which the forest operator keeps the horses
on particular tracks. I conclude that highway=track with horse=yes/no
would be more appropriate.
I am tempted to add that conclusion to the wiki...

highway=track is wider than highway=path, tracks being useable for at
least one 4WD, So their width should be say 2 metres?
Re cycleway vs footway rendering .. I've looked at least 3 renders ..
none use the additional tags for footway bicycle=yes (and some of thoise
have rendering specfically for bicycles!) ... thus my preference for
cycleway where it is obvious and in common use in 'my' area... I've
tired footway bicycle=yes .. and I've tried informing one render .. no
action.
I've not seen any rendering specfically for horses. Here in Australia
there are a number of horse trails .. one over 5,000km long. Not enough
demand for horse maps thus no rendering?
