5.0 out of 5 stars I just wanted to say....., July 9, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Nightmare (Saddle Club(R)) (Paperback)

In response on how come other horses in pine hollow didn't get the disease I have the answer. E.I.A. is a blood disease usually passed by misquitos and sometimes vets needles if they aren't cleaned poroperly. Delilah contracted the disease while at a neighboring stable where she was going to be bred to the stallion there. The stable Delilah was sent to was near a swamp where misquitos were abundant where as Pine hollow was not. But when Delilah returned to Pine hollow with the virus another thing that kept the other horses from getting E.I.A. was when Delilah returned it was getting colder so misquitos were scarce. Delilah was also placed in a isolation stall is a barn with screen doors to keep what ever misquitos that there were still flying around from getting in or out. E.I.A. also as I mentioned before passed by blood which explains why the saddle club didnt have to wash after touching Delilah. As for Carole taking out a sick horse she was upset about her father and Delilah and wasn't thinking clearly or rationaly. I think it was wonderful exciting and sad. So anyway I just wanted to clear things up.

5.0 out of 5 stars it's sad, but great, October 18, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: Nightmare (Saddle Club(R)) (Paperback)

NIGHTMARE was an exallent book despite the fact that one of the saddle club's, [and mine!] favorite horse gets EQUINE INFECTIONIS ANEMIA or swamp fever and, uh, well you will just have to read the book! But something that Ms.Bryant didn't mention is that EIA is highley contagious, kind of like chicken pox. And because of the that, the book was just a little unrealistic because when 1 of the SC members saw and touched the horse that gets EIA,and they didn't decontaminate themselves afterward-which in REAL life, most of the horses at Pine Hollow would be dead. Besides that, the book was emoitional and fantasitic and was written real well. It felt like I was right there, [but i truley wouldn't want something like EIA to infect the horses where I ride].

5.0 out of 5 stars Saddest one so far!, February 5, 2000

I found this book a great one but also a VERY sad one. Delilah is found to maybe contracted a diesese called Swamp fever. Will Carole save her? or will delilah slip threw Carole's fingers? Every single time I read this I cried. Great Book! go buy or read it! It's a must for all horse Crazy people. It also tell's you how hard It can be to lose a loved one.
