There's clearly no evidence of 4 wheeled vehicles, so it should be

as sections can be used by vehicles such as agricultural ones to get
between adjacent fields.
It's a public bridleway, with the usual "evidence", so no argument
about that.
But is it highway=bridleway or highway=track?

Specifically this, except substitute path for bridleway:
If the way is not wide enough for a two-track vehicle, it should be
tagged as highway=path.
There is evidence of recent wheeled use, which I think was a tractor
gaining access across the adjacent fields for the purpose of
hedge-trimming alongside it. It clearly was once a vehicular track.
Then split the way up. Tag the sections accessible by vehicles as
highway=track
horse=designated
foot=designated
designation=public_bridleway
surface=*
width=* is also useful for both bridleway & track
What I think I'm getting at is this -- is the highway= tag intended to
represent the physical appearance, or the intended use?
With track, it probably has to be a bit of both, Physical appearance
should provide an indication of intended use. Unlike metalled highways,
tracks, unfortunately, rarely have clarifying reference signs like the
A4, M62 etc
