I generally only use highway=bridleway when the signs at the end of the route say it's a public bridleway. Otherwise how would I know if it is or not. However if there is some indication that it's a route suitable for horse riders (eg an official looking horseshoe symbol) then I'll tag that as bridleway too unless a higher usage is allowed.
