She Rides Wild Horses is an album by Kenny Rogers. It was released in 1999 on Rogers' own Dreamcatcher Records.

It was preceded by the top 20 single "The Greatest." Rogers had a period of years from 1992-1999 where a lot of radio stations neglected to play his singles, although he had retained his popualairty as both a seller of albums and top concert attraction. "The Greatest" caught on so fast, that Rogers released She Rides Wild Horses quickly. The video for "The Greatest" reached number 1 on the CMT chart.

"Slow Dance More" was released as a single and provided a second hit from the album.

The third single for the album, "Buy Me A Rose," went to No. 1 on the Billboard magazine Hot Country Singles and Tracks chart in May 2000. It was Rogers' first number one single since 1987's "Make No Mistake, She's Mine." At the time, Rogers became the oldest country artist to have a No. 1 song on the chart (at 61 years, eight months and 22 days), breaking a 26-year-old record held by Hank Snow (who was 59 years, 11 months when he hit with 1974's "Hello Love"); the record held for three years. The video for "Buy Me A Rose" also went to number one on CMT.

She Rides Wild Horses was certified Platinum by the RIAA in 2000.

"She Rides Wild Horses" also featured cover versions of Sarah McLachlan's "I Will Remember You" and Bonnie Raitt's "I Can't Make You Love Me."
