Caroline Pamukcu, born Caroline Martin, is a renowned American eventing athlete set to make her Olympic debut at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris. Pamukcu's journey in the sport began at a young age, competing at the North American Youth Championships (NAYC) in 2011 with her Irish Sport Horse, Classic Touch. In 2013, she won the Young Rider individual and team gold medal riding Quantam Solace, her Argentine Sport Horse.

Pamukcu has represented the U.S. Eventing Team internationally on multiple occasions, including on the second-place teams at the 2022 Houghton Hall (GBR) CCIO4*-NC-S riding Sherrie Martin and her own, Islandwood Captain Jack and the 2023 Strzegom (POL) CCIO4*-NC-S with HSH Blake. In 2023, Pamukcu and HSH Blake won individual gold and led the U.S. team to silver at the Pan American Games in Santiago, Chile.

According to the United States Equestrian Federation (USEF), HSH Blake is a notable product of Pamukcu’s young horse training program. She started competing the 2015 Irish Sport Horse gelding at the novice level in 2020 and in 2022 finished 10th at the FEI Young Horse World Championship in France. At that same event, she won a silver medal with Sherrie Martin's, Luann McElduff's and her own, HSH Connor who went on to win the 2023 USEF CCI3*-L Eventing National Championship.

In 2024, Pamukcu and King's Especiale were named to the Defender U.S. Eventing Team at the FEI Eventing Nations Cup CCIO4*-NC-S at Millstreet International Horse Trials where they posted the top individual score for the team and assisted in securing a team silver-medal finish. With the strong performances of Pamukcu and HSH Blake throughout the 2023 and 2024 season, Pamukcu was named to her first Olympic Team with HSH Blake and will represent the U.S. at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games as part of the U.S. Olympic Eventing Team.
