When her mother's MS takes a turn for the worse, aspiring Olympian Joannie Edson moves back to Idaho with her aging horse to be closer to home and family. She has given up everything (career, romance) to pursue her goal of riding for the US Equestrian Team, but now, with no horse to ride and no money to buy or support a young prospect, she finds herself faced with a choice: should she take a chance on a relationship with the attractive stranger pursuing her, or invest her time in training her coach's abused and violent mare? As she explores each option, Joannie finds that a fully lived life is much like the jumping courses she's always ridden, every path bearing obstacles that she will have to clear to find her way forward.

Review "This work by Sian B. Griffiths qualifies as a minor masterpiece of the novelist's art. Complex and memorable characters, minute attention to background details, an imaginative storyline, and a master of dialogue, 'Borrowed Horses' is a consistently entertaining read." -Small Press Bookwatch, Midwest Book Review"Griffiths' great accomplishment in dealing with the men in Joannie's life is that she manages to be sympathetic to both Joannie's physical desires (many of which are described in sensual detail) and her almost feminist nature. What Joannie discovers through much trial and error is that balance can only be found in the middle. In this way, and in many others, life is like riding a horse." -Peter Geye, Minnesota StarTribune"what really captured me was the beauty of the writing. [...Borrowed Horses is] keen yet accessible." -Sharon Browning, LitStack
From the Back Cover "A remarkable debut, tough-minded and feisty as the prodigal daughter at its heart. Borrowed Horses explores with precise attention a corner of our country--the rolling Palouse of northern Idaho--rarely portrayed in fiction, and, along the way, translates equestrianism into a kind of beautiful metaphysics." -Lance Olsen, Calendar of Regrets"Siân Griffiths puts Idaho on the map. Her writing is as tough and lovely as a flower blooming in gravel." -Amina Gautier, At-Risk, Winner of the Flannery O'Connor Award"I've never ridden a horse, but after reading this book, I feel like I know what it means to meet a fence and jump--that moment of flight. Griffiths etches her characters, their rituals and desires, with startling devotion. There is more than one love story in this novel, and each one pulls hard. Friendship and grit ride alongside both misplaced and slow-burning passions through a distinctly Western emotional landscape. Joannie Edson is both a woman I admire and want to throttle: this is what recommends her. We are all haunted--Borrowed Horses shows one woman learning to weather the ghosts and jump again." -Kirsten Kaschock, Unfathoms and Sleight

4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. Borrowed Horses kept me awake late into the night, I could not put it down. By University of Idaho Borrowed Horses is a novel not only about horses, but about life, love, choices, and decisions - and how all of those things shape you as a person. Those of us that know about horses understand their pull and power. Borrowed Horses will make that old adage of 'the outside of a horse is good for the inside of a man' ring true for those who have never had the opportunity to know the pleasure of horses up close and personal. This book made me laugh, cry, smile, and shake my head in understanding - all in the first 75 pages. I cannot wait for the next novel by Sian Griffiths.
4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. Gorgeous, beautiful, soul wrenching story, a must read By horsemom I'm not sure I can even write this review. I definitely can't without tears apparently. Horse lovers will recognize every stride of every horse, every half halt. But, you don't have to be a horse person to connect with this novel. The plot and characters are real life and drawn with incredible skill. I will be thinking about this story for days and will be reading it again soon. I know I didn't take in all the subtle layers the first time. If you love a book that grips you and doesn't let you go, read this! Phenomenal writer. Just incredible.
3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. You don't have to love horses to love this book By JSav I do love horses but I fell in love with the characters in Sian Griffiths novel even more. There's something so raw about her writing that I felt immersed in the world she created and like I understood all of the characters on a deep level...so much so that I didn't want to get to the end of the book. Like every good story, I found myself thinking about it for days and even weeks after finishing the book. I sent a copy to my sister and have recommended it to many friends since.
