Two years ago, she relocated from northeastern Pennsylvania to Saratoga County.<br \/>\n\u201cI came here to immerse myself in the horse industry\u2014just not the racing part of it,\u201d she said. \u201cIt ended up being the best decision I could have made in terms of career and doing what I really enjoy.\u201d<br \/>\nAfter relocating, she was offering riding lessons through her teaching business, Celtic Crest Farm LLC. In July, she moved her business to a leased space in Ballston Spa and opened Rewind Equine Tack &amp; Consignment at 76 Front St. in Ballston Spa.<!--more--><br \/>\n\u201cThe store is about 800 square feet and is chock full of riding boots, saddles, show jackets, breeches, shirts\u2014anything for the horse owner that rides English,\u201d Mulqueen said. \u201cWhether they ride for pleasure or for competition, we have everything. I\u2019m also going to carry a few new items.\u201d<br \/>\nFor the consignment merchandise she sells, Mulqueen does a 50\/50 split with the consignor on everything except for saddles that are priced at more than $1,000. For those more expensive saddles, she takes a lower percentage.<br \/>\nBusiness at the store has been good, and customers have come from as far away as Vermont and New Hampshire. Unlike most stores, she does not depend on foot traffic. She relies on her Facebook page, Rewind Equine Tack &amp; Consignment, to promote her business.<br \/>\nRewind Equine Tack &amp; Consignment is open on Thursdays from 1:30-6:30 p.m. and Fridays and Saturdays from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.<br \/>\nMulqueen\u2019s store hours are limited due to her teaching schedule, but she would like to expand them in the future.<br \/>\nIn her teaching business, Celtic Crest Farm LLC, Mulqueen uses a retired thoroughbred, Wesley, for lessons. Wesley raced at Saratoga Race Course and Belmont Park and Mulqueen adopted him 10 years ago through an adoption program.<br \/>\n\u201cI adopted him at 6, and he got a second career and a permanent home with me,\u201d she said.<br \/>\nMulqueen started riding at the age of 5 and has been teaching riding lessons for more than 35 years. She teaches at Shadow Rock Farms in Ballston Spa, instructing students in the English style of riding. Her clients range in age from age 5 to 65. For the past 25 years, she has also been judging horse shows<br \/>\nShe credits her late father, fashion designer Jack Mulqueen, with igniting her entrepreneurial spirit. While living in Pennsylvania, she operated a retail store in addition to giving riding lessons. After moving to New York, \u201cI started feeling out the area to see what niches there were here that needed to be filled,\u201d she said.<br \/>\nAfter learning that the area\u2019s only equine consignment shop was no longer in business, Mulqueen decided to open Rewind Equine Tack &amp; Consignment.<br \/>\n\u201cI actually started the business in my living room in my house,\u201d she said. \u201cI had a separate entrance and worked by appointment. When I wasn\u2019t teaching, I would meet people at my house.\u201d<br \/>\nWithin the next five years, she hopes to purchase her own show, training, and boarding farm. When that happens, she will move her shop to her farm.<br \/>\n\u201cI look forward to serving the horse community and being an asset to Saratoga County and being a business that can give back to the horse community. I feel like I\u2019m covering an area that no one else is, and that\u2019s been rewarding,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Christine Graf New York City native Whitney Mulqueen has been working in the equine industry for her entire adult life.
