Morphology
The meaning 'the activity of riding along trails' is directly and compositionally derived from 'trail' (a beaten path) + 'riding' (the activity of riding). This noun+gerund combination follows a common, cross-linguistic pattern and would be immediately understandable to a B1 learner who knows both constituent words.
Etymology
Trail riding comes from a simple picture: trail is a path and riding is sitting on a horse, bike, or other animal as you move along that path through the countryside. So, it means the activity of riding on rough 'paths' or tracks for 'pleasure'.
