BACK AWAY!!!! That means that they are on the offensive and they are ready to kick...STAY AWAY!!!!
If they are facing backwards, then they are merely listening to something behind them. However, if his ears are pinned right down on his neck, then he is angry, and you should be cautious around him.
having their ears pinned back is a horses way of showing aggrevation or annoyance. Unless there are flies, then they may be trying to prevent that. But mostly not a good thing when your horses ears are back
He is upset about something.
If the ears are slightly backward then the horse is listening to what is behind them, they put their ears like this when they are sleeping as well. However, if they are flat back against the horses poll the they are showing that they are angry or distressed.
if the horses ears are slanted backwards it mean they might be unsure of angry
Just tilted back ears is just a horse listening to something behind it. If they are pinned against the neck however, this would indicate anger or frustration.
with the ears pinned back it sounds like she doesnt like it...
depends... it could mean it's angry and going to bite. Some horses ears are naturally back. sometimes they're smelling... Theres a few possible answers.
It depends on the situation the horse is in. If the horses ears are swiviling back and forth and moving around alot they are more than likely just listening to sounds, other horses or you. If their ears are pinned back against their head and their teeth are bared (like a dog snarling) then they are upset or angry. Their tail may also swish around if they are angry. Horses pin their ears back as a warning to other horses or things they feel are a threat.
He/She is relaxed.
Well if the horses ears are just slanted backwards a little it means the horse is listening to you. but if the horses ears are all the back where they are touching the back of there neck then they are very mad.
Hes is listening or dozing
There are different degrees of 'backwards'. If his ears just flick back in a relaxed manner he is listening to something behind him. If his ears are pinned back flatter on his head he is sending a warning that he is not happy. It could result in a bite or a kick so when you see his ears like this be on your toes.
