The 26-year-old horse named Cherry reacts as it gets its belly scratched in Corvallis, Mont., on Sept. 6, 2011. Cherry is a rescue horse adopted by Shannon Alexander. Alexander and a core group of volunteers formed Western Montana Equine Rescue and Rehabilitation, which has helped find new homes for close to 150 horses and almost three dozen donkeys.
