high-stepper
Knee-lifting marcher
A high-stepper is someone who lifts their knees high while walking or marching, or a horse trained to do the same.
The term extends to a flashy, showy person—someone who lives extravagantly or carries themselves with conspicuous style: She was quite the high-stepper in her day, always at the best parties.
