Whether the sign is reliably indicating that the way is suitable for riding a horse might depend on the region you are in, and also on weather conditions (rain, ice etc), but it is not different to any other highway=bridleway which also might cause problems for horse riders in some (supposedly rare) occasions
You can, in England /Wales also walk or ride a bike on a bridleway. Your choice of bike is important in most cases, a town/road racer will not last very long.
