Distance Doesn't Love Me

I checked out the barn that is currently the farthest away at 37 minutes. I can honestly say that it is a nice spot and has a lot of wonderful features:

Turnout
- any kind of turnout situation I want (day, night, 24/7, etc.)
- max 4 horses per turnout
- automatic waterers in the turnout, even in winter
- several different turnouts, all with grass
- when the grass runs out, they will cart in round bales so that the horses are never without food (they are fat and happy)

Facilities
- a crazy large indoor (like twice the size of my current indoor and probably 4 times the size of my last indoor)
- no bathroom but I can use the one in the house
- access to trails
- heated locker room and good size lockers

Care
- feed choice of beet pulp, fat and fibre (which Walker is on), sweet feed, oats, or anything I want up to the price of fat and fibre
- will feed supplements obviously
- horses must be wormed every 3 months

Instruction
- outside coaches welcome
- barn owner teaches lessons for low price (privates the cost of group lessons) - Note: she's a nurse and her husband is a paramedic and they have a 4 year old.  I got the impression that they are super busy and she kept saying "but you can have outside coaches too" which I suspect would simply be easiest for them


Other
- board is $100 cheaper than my current board
- she has a working boarder option that would decrease board by $50 more if I worked only 5 hours a month
- currently the barn owner has 5 horses of her own and only 2 boarders; they are generally all on 24/7 turnout

Concerns
- very private, which can be both a good and bad thing.  It means I get my privacy (and access to the rocking indoor arena any time I want), but no one around to help me as much
- because of its privacy, I worry about little things like who will deworm Walker (because I can no longer accomplish that after his bout with oral medicines...)
- lessons - I can take them with her but she seems busy which means that I might have to get a trainer in. This would probably be costly because she'd be travelling a long distance just for one person.  I was also hoping to take lessons on other horses while Walker is getting better and I simply doubt that's an option there with the setup
- it is up a hill - the road will be somewhat slippery in winter and I know it will be freezing at that time of year (they even said as much)
- the distance

Overall
I think it is a great facility with very accomodating owners.  I think it would be great for someone looking to retire their horse or someone who is very advanced and doesn't need the instruction or else is looking to bring a trainer in to further their instruction.  I'm not saying I won't take it, but I worry slightly that with the distance, I may not get to see Walker as much as I used to.  The upside is that it might be a chance to take lessons at other barns because obviously this lady doesn't care in the least.  I could try out a jumping barn and get to do some of the things that I can't with Walker.  Because of the reduced price, I could probably afford to join a lesson program at any barn I wanted on horses doing some other disciplines and afford to take a few lessons on Walker with the barn owner. 

I think that if it were closer or I lived a different lifestyle that didn't keep me at work late at night sometimes, I would jump at it.  For the meantime, I've contacted a couple other barns to put some feelers out there.  They might not have any availability, in which case I'll probably take this one (because I could always leave later), or I still might take this one even if the other ones are available.  I would love to have Walker out and settled in by August, but I may be pushing my luck on that one since I haven't even talked to my current barn owner...
