If horses ears are slanted backwarrds what does it indicates he is?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

It depends on what you mean by slanted. Do you mean pinned back against their head or just slightly back? If their ears are pinned right to their head it is a sign of aggression it doesn't mean that the horse will kick or bite you however you should keep a close eye on what that horse is doing also that is one way a horse tells another to back off is by laying their eats back.

Answer 3

This usually indicates that the horse is unhappy or upset, or that he is in pain. If the ears are continually moving and slant back one at a time, he may be listening to you while you're riding. Take care if the horse's ears are pinned to the back of his head, as he is extremely upset.
