Riding instructor Glenn Moody is the "Mr. Clean" of Sweet Briar's Harriet Howell Rogers Riding Center, says riding program director Shelby French.
Glenn Moody initiates his new broom with an “inaugural sweep” of the Bailey Room.Moody is determined to keep the Bailey Room clean and swept — no doubt a thankless task considering the endless stream of booted feet that tread across it daily. According to French, his desire to keep the area spic and span is so great that at the end of the 2008-2009 academic year, the riding staff and students presented him with his own special hand-decorated broom. The words "Glenn's broom" are painted on the handle.
The Bailey Room, named for former director of riding Clayton Bailey, is the lobby area of the riding center, where visitors enter through the main door. It's also a meeting room and classroom for the riding program.
Today, Moody got the chance to initiate his new broom with an "inaugural sweep" of the Bailey Room — and a new academic year is under way.
