 new web site!
Australia's most popular
equestrian-lifestyle web site,
valleycountry.com, is now even better, even
faster, even easier!
We've had lots of positive feedback about our website since we
launched it more than five years ago. We've also had some excellent suggestions
from our customers about how to make it even better. And we've listened.
The enhancements are all designed to make it quicker and simpler for you to use
the site – without losing any of the features that you've told us you like.
And we've upgraded to a faster server to accommodate the very high levels of
usage.
To celebrate the release of our new look, better, faster web site, Valley
Country is offering our loyal email newsletter customers a fantastic offer.
From now until the end of June you can receive a 10% discount
off retail prices by entering the activation code VNJUNE08 when you register
online as a customer (not available in conjunction
with any other offer). Already registered as a customer? Just re-register
to take advantage of this special deal. While anyone can shop at Valley Country without
registering, becoming a Valley Country
Legends member
does afford a number of
advantages.
We're excited about this offer, so come and help us celebrate. Visit
valleycountry.com and
save!
 what's new?
valleycountry.com has a brand new appearance – we
wanted to give the site a classy Australian flavour and we hope you like
it. More importantly, we've added lots of new features including better
navigation, easier checkout, more resources and more ways to browse and shop.
In addition to searching,
and shopping by category
(in the left menu), you can now shop by
brand and by
interest (in the top menu). As usual, you can also shop from our
new arrivals, clearance and
promotions menus. Be sure to check back frequently as we add new products,
promotions and clearance items very regularly.
So
if you have a favourite brand – say Driza-Bone – you can now see the full range of
Driza-Bone products by choosing
Driza-Bone from the
brands menu at the top
of the page. Over 60 brands can be accessed this way. Other brands not included can still be
found by searching or browsing by category or using the search facility. Interests can be browsed in
the same way – nineteen different
interests are listed.
As we have over 36,000 products in the catalogue, there are certain brands and interests that have a
LOT of
products. To keep things manageable
in these cases (such as the RM Williams brand
and the dressage
interest), we provide a selection of the best products from each category.
So instead of listing every dressage
spur, saddle, girth, bridle and book etc, we list many of the top dressage items, to give you a good idea of what's available and where to find it
(hint: use
the 'breadcrumb' at the top of each product page to see in which category the
product is listed).
So far we've been talking about helping you find the products you're
after. But if what you're
looking for is some background information about our leading brands or your
particular interest, look in Valley Country under information in
the top menu. There you'll find background information on more than 80 of our brands
and 19 of your interests. By the way, you can also find useful size charts and lots of
other handy things in resources under information in the top
menu.
As always, if you know exactly what you want, the search facility, or advanced search,
is your best option – it will show
you everything in our
catalogue relevant to your search.
Please browse the new site – we hope
you enjoy the new features! And if there's something you think we could do
better, please
let us know!

Professionals Choice – Professionals Choice Sports Medicine
Products and Norfields Magnetic Therapy products have joined forces to raise the
bar for equine health and soundness. Norfields will bring its patented,
clinically proven, magnetic therapy benefits to Professionals Choice Sports
Medicine Products.
The
Norfields line includes an array of products which use bipolar magnets to
promote circulation and speed recovery from joint and muscular injuries. Scientific studies have shown Norfields Magnetic Therapy increases circulation
and reduces recovery time for soft tissue, bone and joint injuries, while aiding in
the relief of pain and soreness as well as the stiffness associated with
arthritic conditions.
Sportsmen from all disciplines have relied on magnetic therapy to aid in the
rehabilitation of their equine partners after injury, to soothe soreness after
hard workouts, and to warm up before competition. Norfields' successfully proven
sports therapy products have been worn by the likes of Eclipse Champions, World
Cup and Breeder's Cup competitors, Olympic Contenders, and champions of all
known breeds and disciplines. The first products in the Professionals Choice Norfields range of magnetic therapy boots are the bell boots, knee boots, hock
boots and shin & tendon boots. The boots are made of durable nylon with a soft
cotton lining and of course the Norfields bipolar magnets.
