Trimming Peach Tree

The peach tree I own is 10 years old. Limbs are very long and tend to break with the weight of the fruit. How do I get the peach tree back in shape? How far back do I cut the limbs? The tree is also 15′ high, no shape. Each year some of the fruit dries up, looks like something sucked out all the juices – like a spider does to a fly.
