The Caution Horses is the third studio album by the Canadian alt-country band Cowboy Junkies, released in 1990.
The first album following their 1988 breakthrough The Trinity Session, The Caution Horses features a more conventional, polished sound than the earlier album's spare, haunting country blues. As a consequence, the album received average reviews from music critics, who said that the band had sacrificed their distinctive style.
