Restive means impatient of control or restraint.
Restless means uneasy or unquiet, unable to remain at rest; perpetually agitated or in motion.
A horse may be restless when loose in a field, but can only be restive if it is resisting control. A child can be restless from boredom, but can only be restive if someone is trying to make him do what he does not want.
