This is an example of confusing the physical space with the legal administrative description. If it's a paved road from the end then unclassified, residential, or service would be the appropriate tag for the physical. On top of that its horse=yes. To add the bridleway specifically I would add bridleway=true as a tag as well. Just because it's a bridleway does not necessarily mean car=no. The landowner will almost certainly have access over the route. Since it's a bridleway however the public probably do not (unless its permissive).
