Horse Whispers & Lies is a 1999 biography of Monty Roberts by Joyce Renebome and journalist Debra Ristau. It was published in paperback by Veracity Books in 1999 (ISBN 1-929055-44-7).
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 his bestselling autobiography, The Man Who Listens to Horses, Monty Roberts had claimed his father had abused both him and the horses he trained. 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.

To sound unlike a birthday card,

Full of all that lies behind it

And hope that in the future you
Reap ever richer revenue.”
