It seems somewhat odd to reject bridleway whilst using footway which shares the same arguable 'flaw' of tagging both physical appearance and implied access in one tag. For those unhappy with these tags, as Dave mentions, the highway=path tag was designed to physically describe a physical path and be used in combination with access tags. Now, I can understand using either the 'classic' (highway=footway or highway=bridleway) or 'alternate' (highway=path + access tags) tagging schemes but I'd think that a hybrid resulting in combinations like highway=footway horse=designated is best avoided . Kind regards Adam
