Legal Question in Legal Ethics in Florida

Using info from a message board

I frequent a horse message board website. There was a lady that posted updates in text and pictures everyday regarding her sick horse and its recovery from West Nile Virus, something relatively rare. I would like to write a book about the story and have enough info from the posts to do so. Do I have to get her permission to use the info she has posted on a public forum?
