The Horse That Bud Bought is the fourth studio album from heavy metal band Galactic Cowboys. The album title comes from the lyrics to the song "Oregon". The song is derived from real life events where bassist Monty Colvin and his family (mother and father) sold all of their worldly goods and joined a cult that lived in a commune up in the mountains of Oregon. The cult leader was upset that Monty's father had bought him a horse and told him he had to give it to the whole "family".{{cite journal |date=September–October 1997 |title=Galactic Cowboys |journal=HM Magazine |issn=1066-6923 |issue=67 |accessdate=2007-04-24 |url=//www.hmmagazine.com/archives/GalacticCowboys67.htm |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20000918053653/http://www.hmmagazine.com/archives/GalacticCowboys67.htm |archivedate=September 18, 2000 }}
