As the wise always say, don't pick a battle you can't win. If she won't lunge, don't - a conclusion you have already come to.
If she is fine in the summer, I would wait. Can you turn out in the school, walk her in hand to exercise her brain, anything to get her out of the stable, but if you are feeling worried, don't get on for now.
I have just sold my mare and am regretting it so don't rush into anything either. I wish I had just waited a few more weeks until the weather improves and she would have calmed down once she was out more.
If she is still a problem in the summer, you may well want to sell her then, but if she returns to her normal self then you can try to find a more suitable yard for next winter, even if it is further away. Perhaps she could be turned away for the winter months?
