Default Pronghorn mount

I have just received my son's pronghorn mount (it is at the house, I haven't even seen it yet). My question is about the risk of hair slippage. When we handled the animal in the field, the pronghorn hair came out very easily. Does this remain a significant issue with the now tanned hide attached to the mount form? If so, we will need to handle the mount pretty carefully to avoid pulling off hanks of hair just getting the mount onto the wall, right? I had the head mounted on a wooden plaque. How do others handle pronghorn mounts who don't have a wooden plaque, by the horns? Are these sturdy enough to use to move the head?
