Morphology
The meaning 'a recreational ride in a wagon filled with hay' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'hay' (dried grass) with 'ride' (a trip), so a learner who knows both words can infer a ride involving hay. This is a straightforward, compositional compound-like construction and is cross-linguistically plausible, making it easily comprehensible to B1 learners.
Etymology
Hay ride comes from the simple image of people sitting on hay in a wagon and being pulled around a farm for a ride. That's why it means 'a fun ride in a wagon or cart filled with hay'.
