Max Green, right, tries to get the courage to pet a horse for the first time in his life Friday afternoon, while Woleska Whitcomb stands with him in their driveway on Turner Center Road in Turner. Stuart Abbott, left, of Caldwell Family Farm and Leah Moreau of Low Fat Farm were practicing for Sunday’s Fourth of July Parade at 10 a.m. and turning around to return to their farms. Just before they left, Green gave one of the horses a quick pat on the neck.
