Morphology

hippic + outfit

The phrase is a straightforward adjective + noun composition: if a learner knows 'hippic' (relating to horses) and 'outfit' (clothing ensemble), the meaning 'clothing for horse riding/equestrian events' follows directly. Although 'hippic' is rare in usage, the compositional pattern is transparent and predictable to learners who know both constituents.

Etymology

The noun hippic outfit uses hippic, a form of a word that means 'horse', and outfit meaning clothes, so it literally describes clothes made for riding horses. That's why it means 'clothing for horse riding and horse shows' today.
