Personally, I would pass. I bought a cribber once, and it bugged me to
death. Always the teeth on a fence, gulping air.

he passed:-) But I do have one concern, he is a cribber and I know that
horses that crib are prone to colic...the current owner has said he has
never coliced. what are you thoughts on buying him for LD endurance? I am
new to the sport, so my goal over the next year is to do 25 miles, and
hopefully work into 50's in the next couple of years
