SureHands Lift & Care Systems is a mobility solutions company that provides specialized lift and transfer equipment designed to help individuals with limited mobility participate in daily activities, recreation, and therapeutic programs. Among its specialized solutions is a horseback riding transfer system that supports therapeutic riding centers, adaptive riding programs, and equine-assisted services organizations.
The company’s technology is designed to create safe, comfortable, and dignified transfers for riders who may otherwise face significant barriers to mounting and dismounting horses. By combining ceiling lift systems, body supports, and customized transfer equipment, SureHands helps therapeutic riding facilities expand accessibility and inclusion for participants of varying physical abilities.
About This Program
SureHands does not operate a therapeutic riding center itself. Instead, it provides adaptive lift and transfer solutions that are used by therapeutic riding organizations, hippotherapy programs, and equine-assisted services facilities worldwide. The equipment helps riders safely transfer from wheelchairs or other mobility devices onto horses while reducing physical strain on staff, volunteers, and caregivers.
The SureHands Body Support system is designed to promote proper posture during transfers and can be paired with customized lift systems to meet the needs of individual facilities and riders. The company works with therapeutic riding programs to create solutions tailored to their environments and participant populations.

Facility and Setting
SureHands is headquartered in Pine Island, New York, and serves therapeutic riding and healthcare organizations through a network of partners and distributors.

The company’s equipment is designed to create a calm and controlled transfer experience for riders, horses, instructors, and volunteers, supporting safe participation in therapeutic riding activities.
What Makes Them Unique
SureHands is unique because it focuses specifically on accessibility technology that enables greater participation in therapeutic horseback riding. Rather than providing equine-assisted services directly, the company helps riding centers remove physical barriers that might otherwise prevent individuals with significant mobility challenges from participating.
Its transfer systems help reduce manual lifting by volunteers and staff while providing a more comfortable and dignified experience for riders. This allows therapeutic riding organizations to serve a broader range of participants and create more inclusive programs.
