''Fresh Horses'' is American Country Music artist Garth Brooks ' sixth studio album (eighth overall). It was released on Tuesday, November 21 , 1995 . The album had a worldwide radio ban until it was available to buy. Only the two singles issued ("She's Every Woman" and "The Fever" were allowed to be played before this date, the latter of which was a new country-rock version of an old Aerosmith song). Once issued "Fresh Horses" hit #1 on the Billboard Country music charts and #2 on the Billboard's Pop chart. Through 2006, approximately six million copies have been sold in the U.S. In Great Britain the album was another success, reaching the top 30 pop albums and topping the country charts.

Brooks was a bit concerned how the album would fare, given his two-year absence.
He commented:
"''Everyone was expecting this album to be pop. Everyone said we were leaving (country). For the first time ever, I was involved (in writing) in eight of the 10 cuts, so it's a huge reflection of myself. It's the things I enjoy singing about. I got to sing about the band on the road, I got to sing about cowboys, and more importantly, the women who put up with those cowboys.''"
