A RIDING for the disabled centre is holding a special Santa's grotto event on Sunday.
Children can meet Santa on horseback at the Unicorn Centre, run by the Riding for the Disabled Association, in Hemlington, Middlesbrough.
They can visit him by riding a Unicorn Centre pony through a magical Christmas-themed course in the indoor arena.
His elves will be on hand to lead the ponies, help the children and assist Santa with handing out gifts.
Centre manger Claire Pitt said: "Children love visiting Santa on a pony – it's special, unique and very, very popular, so early booking is advised."
Santa Special pony rides cost £10 each or £19 for two, and include a Christmas rosette and present.
All children are welcome. To book a place phone the Unicorn Centre on 01642-576222.
