She's nervous. Maybe she doesn't know you well enough yet. Was it a different saddle or freshly washed blanket? Something made her uneasy. Talk to her softly as you go about your business. Keep your hand on her rump and you walk around behind her. She needs to know everything is OK.

Some signs that a horse may kick include pinned ears, swishing tail, raised hind leg, or a tense body posture. It is important to always be alert and respectful around horses, especially when approaching them from behind. If a horse is displaying signs of potential aggression, it is best to give them space and avoid approaching until they calm down.
Through body language and verbal. Like Neighing, nickering, roaring, groaning, sighing, coughing, snorting and blowing to name a few. But horses rely mostly on body language like tail slashing, tail tucking, ear pinning, backing up, tossing head, snaking, pawing, raising legs, chomping, teeth grinding, head lowering and again, that's only naming a few. Horses have their own vast world of communication just like us humans, though theirs is much more strait forward then ours.

A dog with their ears back usually suggests a negative, timid or fearful reaction. A dog will also pin their ears back if they are surronded by noise, since a dogs sense of hearing is far greater than our own.
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.
It could do one or more of a few things: -pin its ears -shy -rear -attack -hide -look to another horse for assistance
Pinned ears are one of the ways a horse communicates with the world around him. He is feeling insecure about his food and is afraid someone, horse or human, may try to take it. When my babies do this I gently let them know that pinned ears are reserved for other horses and not for his people. In a short time he will figure it out.
Well if the horse is pinning the ears to the back then that means that the horse is mad and if you are doing something to aggervate the horse then you need to stop but if the horse hasn't been rode much you need to let a horse trainer or someone who deals with horse alot break the horse to keep you from gettin hurt.
A horse will pin its ears, tuck it's tail and most likely run, as animals are divided as: fight or flight. Horses are flight animals, which means they are at a greater advantage to run.

It truly depends on the horse. If you have a social horse they will most likely sniff the other horse, it could get a little exicted so be careful. If the horse dosent like other horses it might bite, pin back its ears, swish it's tail or space around nervously. Often times horses be able to get better acquainted in the paddock, because they can use their own body language and can astablish the "totem pole of power" or who's boss of who.
