Hippology Junior Division Sources and Horse Bowl Junior Division Sources

Please be mindful that in the Junior Division, the Horses and Horsemanship & Horse Science references are the 2001 editions. They both have green covers and have a clover on the front with the statement “Revised and Expanded by Ray J. Antoniewicz”. It appears many are still using the old editions that have a blue and green cover.
