I think the OSM principle is that you get the tagging coherent, and let the
renderers adapt. I don't suppose there are actually many improved bridleways
out there that would get re-tagged and horse-riders misled. There are
probably already quite a lot that have been tagged as cycleways, with the
designation information lost.

As for rendering, I might go for red-dotted for footway, green-dashed for
path, green-dash-dotted for bridleway, blue-dashed for cycleway and
blue-dash-dotted for (cycleway & (designation=public_bridleway or
horse=yes)). But that's not my call.
