History
Ducker Gilbert (1854–1930) was a saddler in Newmarket, Cambridgeshire and appears in the 1888 Kelly’s Directory as a saddler and harness maker on the High Street of the town. His oldest son, William Ducker Gilbert (1884–1963) was also trained as a saddler. At one point the company was said to have held a Royal Warrant. In 1963, the company, reported to have supplied racing colours and horse clothing to racing owners, trainers and jockeys for generations, was taken over by H. McCalmont, a National Hunt amateur rider.
