If a horses ears are slanted backwords your horse is?

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.
