Thank you everyone, you;ve been great. Following the mad dash around yards I've had this weekend, I've settled on the yard Ali put me in touch with 
Stolensilver - where abouts? I have been round most of them. It's been so hard to find somewhere with a school, good hacking (off main/ busy roads), nice big boxes, DIY or part livery, and a bit of life about it. The atmosphere at Hargate was exactly what I wanted.. something to push and encourage me, and lots ot get involved with. But in the end, I couldn't look my horse in the eye if I had to keep her in all winter and keep her in a tiny paddock the rest of the time.
Next goal - find cheaper (not poorer quality) hay!!
