Caroline Pamukcu started HSH Blake (Blake) as a young horse, developing him through the levels as the only registered rider in his entire career. The pair debuted at the CCI2* level in 2021 and have increased their international experience and success as they’ve continued to rocket up the levels. HSH Blake has notched seven international wins throughout his career with Pamukcu. The duo earned a team silver medal and individual gold in their first championship representing the U.S. Eventing Team at the 2023 Pan American Games in Santiago, Chile, where they added just four jumping faults to their initial dressage score of 26.8.

The pair have had a strong 2024, finishing inside the top five in all of their FEI starts. The pair finished in second in their first CCI4*-S of the year, before taking a strong fifth-place finish at the extremely competitive CCI4*-S at the Kentucky Three-Day Event. The duo took their first CCI4*-L win at Tryon before their selection to the U.S. Olympic Eventing Team for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.
