Caroline Pamukcu (née Martin) is a five-star eventer who has produced numerous young horses to the upper levels of the sport. After numerous Nations Cup selections, she first represented the U.S. Eventing Team at the 2023 Pan American Games in Santiago, Chile, aboard HSH Blake, where she earned individual gold and team silver medals.

Building on that success, Pamukcu and HSH Blake delivered several standout performances at the CCI4*-S and CCI4*-L levels in 2024, highlighted by a victory in the Tryon International CCI4*-L. Their strong campaign earned the pair selection to the U.S. Olympic Eventing Team for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. Making their Olympic debut, they posted a 30.40 in the dressage phase and finished on a final score of 66.8 to place 36th individually while contributing to the U.S. team's sixth-place finish.

Following the Olympics, HSH Blake—owned by Mollie Hoff, Sherrie Martin, and Caroline and Deniz Pamukcu—and Pamukcu were selected to represent the U.S. at the CHIO Aachen CCIO4*-S, where they helped the Defender U.S. Eventing Team earn the silver medal. The pair closed out the season with an impressive fourth-place finish in HSH Blake's CCI5*-L debut at the MARS Maryland 5 Star at Fair Hill.

Pamukcu carried that momentum into 2026 with a victory aboard HSH Connor in the Bouckaert Equestrian H.T. International CCI4*-S before returning to the Defender Kentucky Three-Day Event CCI5*-L with HSH Blake. The pair entered the cross-country phase as the highest-placed U.S. combination and ultimately finished second overall, earning Defender/USEF CCI5*-L Eventing National Reserve Champion honors. Their continued consistency and international success led to their selection to represent the United States at the 2026 FEI Eventing World Championships in Aachen.
