When a horse puts both ears backward he is most likely upset or annoyed with something.

If you are riding a horse with his ears back, try to calm him down by patting his neck. If just one ear is slanted back, he is probably trying to figure out your riding cues.
What motions do horses ears make and why?
Horses have extremely mobile ears - they can move in almost any direction. Horses in the wild use their ears to help detect predators, and even though domestic horses don't need to do that, they still use their ears to tune into the environment around them, so generally, wherever their ears are pointed, that's what they're paying attention to - so if they're keeping an ear on you, that's a sign that they're paying attention to what you're doing! In addition, horses use their ears to express feelings. A happy, alert horse will have his ears pointed forward. An upset horse will have them about halfway back, and a frightened or angry horse will pin them back so they're almost flat against his head.

A horse who pins its ears back and clearly threatens or displays impatience is a ticking bomb. It is but a matter of time before the threat is carried through. It may be moments away, it may be years away, but it is coming. The trigger may be pretty much anything that upsets the pattern or slows it down. It is the nature of horses to use aggression to enforce their will if they feel it is necessary.
