parade horse
Ceremonial street steed
A parade horse is a horse trained and equipped for ceremonial processions rather than work or racing.
These horses are typically chosen for impressive appearance and calm temperament, often adorned with elaborate tack and regalia.
Figuratively, a parade horse is something kept mainly for show: That vintage car is just a parade horse—he never actually drives it.
