Bridleway on metalled road

What is the correct tag to show that a metalled road is also a bridleway for part of it's length. The bridleway comes from a track joins the road for about 400m and then branches off onto a gravel track, but I want to show that the two way road is also a bridleway for the 400m, as it is a designated bridleway even though it is essentially a road.

Thanks for that but it doesn't seem to show the bridleway line within the road, what I wanted was a road with bridleway line for a certain part of it to show where the bridleway enters the road and then exits it. Is this possible to display this?

Don't let any deficiencies in one of the map rendering systems stop you from tagging accurately.

You could use Freemap. It shows bridleways (and other public rights of way), including where they are on roads/paths/tracks. http://www.free-map.org.uk/

I am fairly sure all non motorway public roads allow horses so you don't need to put bridle way on any public road

You can add designation=public_bridleway to the bridleway section in addition to any other highway=* tag to show the legal status of that section. The highway=bridleway tag is just a shorthand way of showing a track that's designated a bridleway.
