And it’s not just Peters who’s bringing home accolades to the barn. Garcia Luna was named the Best Groom for 2015 by the Fédération Equestre Internationale.

Jose Eduardo, referred to by all who know him as “Eddie,” was born near Mexico City to a family steeped in horses. By the age of 7, he began helping out at home, learning how to ride and assist with barn chores.
