Hi and welcome Kelsey!
	My sympathies about your gelding.  Since Ziya is just 3, you've got 
plenty of time to work out her issues about men and to give her a great 
start.  The more ground work and slow stuff the better for furture 
endurance horses I think and 3 isn't to early to start on the ground. 
And there is a great regional endurance organization in the Pacific 
Northwest with lots of folks who can teach you the ropes.  Start going 
to rides and volunteering now.  By the time you and Ziya are ready to 
hit the trail, you'll know all about the sport!
Happy trails,
Laney
