i would take it to the taxidermist, have him skin the head out, cut the horns off, and tell you how you should prep the cape for freezing
 
If your not going to a taxidermist and want to do it your self. You can skin from the shoulders up the neck, then once you get it up close to the ears you can twist the neck til it comes loose. You might have to do a little cutting around the ncek. The you can freeze it til your ready to do it. Then let it thaw out when your ready, and start skinning the rest out. I have not done one myself, but have watched several taxidermist friends do it several times. PM me if you need more info.
Thanks
 
I would go with the info on two beards link. Mine is just a very brief overview. I would consult a taxidermist to ensure a good job. I'm sure they would help you out for a small fee.
