His eyebrows are also very prominent on his brow. Peter is tall and skinny, and overall very lanky. Despite this, he has quite a bit of muscle tone and is strong for how skinny he is.

Full History>> Peter was born into a very competitive family, and has always had a lot of pressure put on him to achieve excellence. He is naturally very bright and talented, but his parents always demanded more of him. In whatever he did, he always had to be the best, whether it be school, riding, art, or anything else. His artistic abilities were discovered at a young age, and he was always pressed to cultivate them. Luckily, he didn't lose interest in them as many children would have done in his position, and continues to pursue them actively.
Peter began riding when he was 8, and his parents sent him to the best barn in the area, bought him a seasoned show horse, and funded all of his equestrian needs. He is an eventer, but prefers show jumping and dressage to cross country. His mare, Pins and Needles, is trained as an eventer, but excels in his preferred disciplines. Peter was, as all show children are, thrown onto the show circuit as quickly as possible, and he did fairly well, though the stress of it all didn't bode well with him. His trainers adored him however, and found the best way to push him to the best without tossing him over the edge. He was, of course, a novelty, being a male in the female dominated sport, and it would be a waste to throw out such a rare talent. To his chagrin, his regularity on the show circuit and not-unpleasant looks earned him a group of female followers, intent on snaring him, and he was lucky that he had Kate nearby to ward them away, since he was much happier on his own.
His sister, named Kate, is a recipient of his adoration, and they are very close.. She also rides, and they would often spend hours riding together during their free time. He missed miss her immensely when at Blue Ridge, and secretly hoped that she will choose to attend there as well. He was thrilled when Kate applied and decided to attend herself, and is always keeping an eye on her to make sure that she is okay. Peter always attended private prep schools in England, and it was his idea to apply to Blue Ridge Riding Academy. He convinced his parents that he would excel there, and was thrilled when he got in. He stays on the condition that he continues to excel in all of his activities. He makes sure to do so, since Blue Ridge has become home to him, and he finds it more more pleasant than living with his family back in England.
