When merely slanted back, they are just listening to something behind then. When pinned flat against the head, they are angry. there's a big difference.
it usually means that they are frightened or confused-Emma
If a horses ears are slightly pinned back this means they are bored, but if they are flat against their neck this means they are irritated and can kick or bite. Another sign of a horse about to kick is if they stamp their hoof against the floor and wont move.
It means they are angry or frightened, so be careful, they might bite of kick if they behave like this
If they are simply slanted back, the horse is merely listening to something behind him. However, if they ar epinned straight down flat on the neck, they are mad!!
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.
If your horse has it's ears slightly back then that means It's listening to something behind them. However, if your horse has it's ears pinned back all the way, then that means it's angry at or scared by something.
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!
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.
It's listening behind it or there's wind blowing in it's ears
if the horses ears are slanted backwards it mean they might be unsure of angry
He/She is relaxed.

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.
If the horses ears are pinned extremely far back, their head is raised, their eyes wild, the horse is frightened and angry, trying to tell you to back off. This is dangerous for you and the horse. If it's gentle, relaxed, it's probably listening to the ride or whats behind it. Or half asleep. =)
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.
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.
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
