Pebbles (1981-2005) was a champion British-bred Thoroughbred race horse, the first British-trained racehorse to win a Breeders' Cup race.
She was foaled in 1981 and was initially owned by her breeder, Marcos Lemos. Lemos sold her to Sheikh Mohammed after her One Thousand Guineas win.
Pebbles won the One Thousand Guineas as a three-year-old in 1984 and at four years old in 1985 she won the Eclipse Stakes, the first filly ever to win that race, beating subsequent Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe winner Rainbow Quest. Later that season she won the Champion Stakes, beating the Derby winner Slip Anchor, before culminating her career with her Breeders' Cup win at Aqueduct.
Pebbles died at the Fukumitsu Stud in Japan in September 2005.
