So I spent last night at the yard - just as well I did as she had a mild stress induced colic episode about 2am... trying to walk a horse round that doesn't know where it's back legs are is ... erm... interesting! 
Did ring the vet but she didn't think it sounded serious enough to come out (before anyone says anything I trust my vet completely and she really knows her stuff) but she would if she got worse. Thankfully after about an hour of walking her round it seemed to be ok and she poo'ed fine.
Today she seems a lot better, still somewhat wobbly but she is standing with her legs more where they should be and only leaning on the wall occasionally rather then constantly, although she is still not standing "square". I'm not sure whether or not the walking around actually did her good or she was on the mend anyway, but either way she has improved massively since yesterday. Vet saw her again today and thinks that it is now more likely that she has trapped a nerve rather than broken her neck however whether or not she will be ridden again is still in question. She will still have the X-Rays done on Monday but it now seems more for my piece of mind rather than for necessity.

She had trapped a nerve in her back rolling and was right as rain in 3 months
