>>....when Gusti is concentrating...he has his ears back. Perhaps I should be >>wary of him ;) I think there's a BIG difference between merely having the ears "put back" and ears "pinned flat back." Pinned ears are a sign that something is seriously awry. Ears that are partly back can mean the horse is concentrating as you say, thinking about something behind their head (a rider on their back, for one), or it may be a warning that they are considering going to full-fledged, pinned-flat-back ears.
