He won a bronze medal in show jumping (team) at the 1956 Summer Olympics in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, and a bronze medal in individual show jumping at the 1964 Summer Olympics in Tokyo.[1] Among his talented stable of horses were Craven A, Firecrest, and Grebe.

Peter was married to Rene Robeson, heiress to the Rothschild dynasty, and the continued his involvement with horses training National Hunt racehorses with Rene Robeson as the License holder. They had a very successful, but small yard of homebred, and exclusive club of owners' horses.
