In the Fall of 2005 Coleman began his college education at University of Virginia, leading to the sale of some of his top horses, leaving him with just a few young horses and Second Hope. At this time in his life he took a step back from completing to focus on his education. During his time away from competing he continued to focus on his riding education, taking lessons from many world famous riders such as Gerd Reuter in dressage, and Anne Kursinski and Wiljan Laraakers in show jumping.

At the age of 20, Coleman was listed as a contender for a spot on the US Olympic team in Athens. Unfortunately Fox In Flight was injured right before Rolex Kentucky in the spring of 2004, putting him out of contention for the 2004 Olympics. However, Coleman had a second ride at Rolex Kentucky in 2004 on Second Hope. This would be his first attempt at Americas only four-star, where he finished as the top placed young rider.

In 2001 at the age of 18, Coleman was gold medalist at the North American Young Rider's Championship. When he turned 19 he moved up to the three-star level and finished 8th on his horse Second Hope at Fair Hill International CCI3*, earning a spot on the USEF's winter training list. In 2003, Coleman and Fox In Flight traveled abroad to the Bramham CCI3* where the combination won the under-25 Championships, becoming the only US combination to ever do so. The pair stayed in England to compete in their first CCI4* at Burghley where the pair jumped a clean cross country round and finished 26th out of more than 100 starters.
