I think it would depend on how bad a cribber he is.  Does he have a 
history of colic, which can be caused by cribbing?  How about wear on 
his teeth?  Overdevelopment of lower neck muscles?  Would you be able to 
give him lots of turnout or possibly permanent pasture if he's always 
been stalled.  I'm thinking that a change in lifestyle to life as a 
trail horse and with more natural living arrangements might "cure" the 
cribbing.  No guarantee that it would but I'm not sure cribbing in 
itself should be a deal breaker unless the cribbing is really bad and 
has caused problems.
