Liesel is almost 10 months old. From what you guys are saying, it sounds like she might be entering a "teenage phase" that is perhaps similar to Basho.
I started using the tying technique suggested by Nanno with both Liesel and her mother, who is also not super tolerant of being touched on her belly. I saw improvement by the end of the first session! We still have a ways to go, because eventually I want them to let me trim or examine their hooves and possibly milk them without any restraints, as those types of things may have to happen on the trail. So far, the improvement had been really encouraging!
