Keeping Tradition Alive, One Lesson at a Time

My name is Elias Hutchinson, and I am The Startup Cowboy. I believe that real education should be accessible, practical, and free. I grew up around cowboy craft — the kind of knowledge passed down at kitchen tables, in barns, or out on the trail. But today, fewer people are learning these skills, and too many folks think you have to be born into it to belong.

You don’t.

Whether you’re eight years old learning to tie your first rope or sixty and starting a new hobby — you’re welcome here.

My Mission

• To share cowboy knowledge with anyone who wants it, without holding back. •
• To make the craft understandable, doable, and enjoyable. •
• To protect and pass on traditions that deserve to live on. •

What I Teach

Hat shaping and care
Roping fundamentals
Leatherwork and gear building
Horse tack, gear, and cowboy basics
Horse training tips & tricks

All explained in a way that’s clear, respectful, and beginner friendly.

EDUCATION & LEARNING

Why It Matters

Cowboying isn’t just a style — it’s a mindset.

A belief in working hard, passing down knowledge, and helping others grow.

If I can teach someone a skill that gives them pride, confidence, or connection to tradition… then every video is worth it.
