When a horse's ears are pinned back (Flat against the back of it's head.) it is telling you "Back off buddy!" It means the horse is not in a good mood. (It is not happy.) This could be followed by a kick or a bite, so watch out and back up!
If its ears are slanted backwards it is listening behind it. When its ears are flat back it is angry or upset.
When the ears are just facing backwards, the horse is just listening to something behind it. When the ears are pinned back on the neck, it means the horse is mad or irritated.
If your horse's ears are slanted back it means s/he is angry or agitated depending on the situation that s/he is in.
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.
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.
Well this would depend on what you mean by 'flap'. A horse may 'flop' it's ears out to the side if it's bored, asleep, or even upset. They may wiggle their ears to try and dislodge a pest or debris. Sometimes a horse will lay it's ears back in anger or lay them sideways if they are ill. They also swivel their ears if they are listening to something.
if a horse's ears are back slightly, it means he is irratated or restless if his ears are back completely, he is fearful,angry, aggressive, scared ect. hope this helps!!
It matters on what you are doing. If you are riding, it might mean the horse is paying attention to you. Sometimes when your not riding and are doing something the horse puts its ears back when it is scared or angry.
They are about to buck so watch out.
horses often show their feelings by moving their ears, if the ears are forward: the horse is interested or exited in something. if the ears are slanted back or twitching: the horse is relaxed and listening to what is around him. if the ears are flat back: the horse is angry.
A slight slant backward may mean the horse is listening to something behind him. If you are on the horse and the ears are slanted back, he is listening to you. However, a slant backwards is different from pinning the ears or laying them back against his head. pinning the ears means the horse is angry or threatened in some way. A horse can be very dangerous at this point and you had better know how to read his communication and know how to respond or you may get kicked or bitten.

The horse is angry.
If a horse's ears are back, it can indicate anger, pain, or unhappiness; however often horses tilt their ears back to listen to a noise behind them. If the ears are pinned back flat to the head, it is a sign of anger, pain, or unhappiness.
It means the horse is being territorial. That horse obviously does not want the other horse in its space. It means the horse is angry, and to stay away from his space.
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.
Do you mean after the ears? then it is called the bridle path. you would clip it as long as the horse's ears.
