[QUOTE="Lannie, post: 1755161, member: 8202"] I wish I knew the secret, too. Molly is just like Opal, she loves having right behind her poll scratched, and actually she likes having her cheek and jowl scratched as well, but hands off the halter! Go figure. This morning when I went out to feed her, I noticed she'd rubbed on something and pulled the strap halfway out of the halter buckle, and I wanted to readjust it anyway (she's growing like a weed), but again, she started spinning in circles when I tried to touch the halter. I can touch her ANYWHERE else, I can't figure it. So I ran her into the stall, shut the door behind us and got my lasso rope out again. She stood with her head in the corner, because as we all know, if I can't see you, you can't see me, either. ;) I dropped the loop over her horns and pulled it up snug, realizing that (YAY!) now her horns are big enough for that, and after that it was a piece of cake. I pulled her head around so I could get to the halter buckle and had my husband just hold the lasso rope for a few seconds while I unbuckled the halter and re-set it to the proper looseness. Then I just lifted the rope off her horns, which is a LOT easier than getting it back off over her whole head. As soon as I opened the stall, she went right back to her breakfast, so either this method was less traumatic to her, or she's finally figuring out I'm not ACTUALLY going to kill her. She's definitely a drama queen, that's for certain. [/QUOTE]
