Renebome, Monty Roberts's aunt, and Ristau, his cousin, set out to restore honor to the names of Monty Roberts's parents, Marvin and Marguerite Roberts.

In response, Renebome and Ristau present material they say shows that Marvin Roberts was actually a kind, humane man from whom Monty learned many of his most effective horse training techniques.
