About Peter Lutz
Peter began riding in Connecticut, where he took lessons from trainer/author Gincy Bucklin, who started beginners on horses wearing hackamores and bareback pads. “I didn't see a saddle for the first six months,” he said. Peter moved on to lessons at the Fairfield County Hunt Club before meeting show jumping and eventing trainer Sarah Dalton-Morris at age 12. “Sarah has been my mentor ever since.”
Sarah gave Peter a foundation in all-around general horsemanship. During those years, he joined the Pony Club, evented and trail rode on his first horse, a half-Arabian named Tarquin. When he was 16, equitation trainer Judy Richter spotted him at a Pony Club rally. “I watched him jump and went up to him and said, ‘You should come ride at Coker Farm,’” she recalled. “He said, ‘I’d love to but I can’t afford it.’ And I said, ‘Well you come run the in-gate at my horse show and we’ll give you a couple of lessons.’”
