If your it's not paying attention to you, you need to command the horse gently, but firmly, and retrain their focus on you. One way to do this when training a horse is to bump them with the rope to keep their attention on you and your commands.
Your first commands should only be single words until you start getting the right reactions. Be firm and clear when you speak your commands. Repeat yourself as much as possible until the command is clearly being understood.
You also need to concentrate on building companionship with your horse. This won't always be easy, but you're going to have to try your best.
