Because horses' eyes are on the sides of their head, they have great peripheral vision, but unfortunately cannot see directly in front of them or directly behind them. Therefore, when a person approaches a horse from behind, the horse cannot see them coming. If that person goes after the horses' foal, it's natural defense as a prey animal is going to be to defend itself. The best way for a horse to defend its rear is to buck out (or kick) at whatever is behind it.

If you wish to approach a horse, *ALWAYS* make yourself known to the animal by either talking to it or keeping in close contact with the horse so that it will know where you are.

What is it mean when a horses ears are slanted backwards?

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. =)
