Listening and / or Paying attention to you
Well if a horses ears are laid back, that means a horse feels scared or threatened.
If both of a horses ears are pinned down backwards against his head, watch out! This means the horse is angry or very irratated and he is likely to attempt a kick or bite.
That the horse is irritated and rather Angry. If the teeth are showing, the horse is in defense-mode. I.e Is warning you to back off.
If a horse's ears are simply slanted backward they are usually "listening" to the rider; however if they are pinned to the head (you wouldn't even see them from a distance) the horse is angry.
If they are flat on the horses head the horse is mad. If it not flat, the ear is just a bit turned around when your riding, good. The horse is listening. If your just by your horse and you notice the ear is like that, and it is slanting here and there but not flat, it hears something. If it is flat, then not flat, then flat again, the horse is mad and it hears something, OR it hears something the horse doesn't like
In some cases it means he/she is angry but in some other cases it just means he/she is looking somewhere, you can usually tell if their angry or if they are calm.Hope it helps xxx
They are probably mad or ticked off about something. Or, they may be tired of doing something. If something is in their face and they slant their ears back, they are just being normal. A dogdoes the same thing when you get in their face. Either that, or they bite you.
The root "ot-" or "auri-" indicates the meaning of ear.
The word root "ot-" indicates "ear". For example, otitis refers to inflammation of the ear.
Ouch!
When a horse's ears are slanted backwards, the horse is paying attention to something behind him. If you are on the horse's back, this is good unless you are competing in hunter/jumper classes where the judge wants to see the ears forward which tells you that the horse is looking for the next jump. However, if the ears are flat back against the horse's head, the horse is warning you or another animal to back off.
