"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", which the title is also based on. The song is derived 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 |last= |first= |year=1997 |month=September/October |title=Galactic Cowboys |journal=HM Magazine |id=ISSN|1066-6923 |issue=67 |pages= |accessdate=2007-04-24 |url=http://web.archive.org/web/20000918053653/www.hmmagazine.com/archives/GalacticCowboys67.htm ]
