Morphology

stadium + jumping

The compound is transparently compositional: 'stadium' + 'jumping' yields the idea of jumping activity that takes place in a stadium, a straightforward modifier-noun combination following normal English patterns. While the specific equestrian sense (riding horses over obstacles) may require contextual knowledge, a B1 learner who knows both words will readily infer it refers to a sporting jumping event held in a stadium.

Etymology

Stadium jumping comes from the image of riders and horses doing jumping inside a stadium or arena, going over fences along a planned course. So it means the 'sport of riding horses over obstacles' to show skill and speed.
