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.

∙ 13y agoA horse will pin it's ears back when it is irritated or angry. It could be angr at you because you are telling it what to do or it could be mad at other horses that antagonize it
Some horses are also trying to establish a pecking order with you; aka trying to show you that they are in charge of YOU. You should make sure they realize YOU'RE the boss, not them.

They do it as a means to better hear something as well, since their ears are funnel-shaped so that they can better hear something that may be either friendly or not--friendly that being something to not worry about, not being something they may want to flee from.
