An old farmhouse that sits on Reynolds Road in Fort Edward, N.Y. is adorned with photos of the star athlete in the family. Portraits, paintings, trophies and mementos hang on the walls and sit atop the mantle. A scrapbook of newspaper clippings, press releases and photographs sits on the kitchen table, carefully cultivated and preserved with love. The star athlete in question, 20-year-old gelding Inherit the Gold, is not human, but might as well be to Jim and Susanne Hooper.
