Surface Forms
Morphology
The meaning 'a school where people are taught to ride horses' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'riding' (the activity of riding horses) with 'school' (a place of instruction). Even if 'school' is listed as a verb in the input, the compositional noun interpretation ('a school for riding') is straightforward and mirrors common cross-linguistic patterns, so a B1 learner who knows both words would readily infer the meaning.
Etymology
The phrase riding school comes from the simple picture of riding, meaning learning to sit on and control a horse, and school, meaning a place for lessons. So, it means 'a school where people are taught to ride horses'.
