Vessels: The Middle Passage Blanket

Collection: Legacy Series

Ride with reverence. The Middle Passage saddle blanket is a stunning tribute to the memory and endurance of those impacted by the Transatlantic Slave Trade. Handwoven using premium New Zealand wool, this design blends cultural symbolism with exceptional craftsmanship.

• Triangles represent the Triangular Trade Route connecting Africa, Europe, and the Americas—marking the flow of people, goods, and suffering.

• Vessel motifs symbolize the slave ships that carried millions across the Atlantic, honoring both those who survived and those who were lost.

• A soft blue background evokes the vast ocean—the waters of the Middle Passage, bearing witness to both trauma and transformation.

Every detail is intentionally crafted to reflect history, honor legacy, and elevate the Black equestrian story. This is more than a saddle blanket—it’s a cultural declaration.

Woven to remember. Designed to empower.
