Horses can swivel their ears to listen to two sounds at once - one ear is paying attention to whatever is in front of the horse, and the other is paying attention to something else.
This means that the horse is interested in something other than you. Something may had made a noise far away and the horse has picked up on it.
If the both the ears are forward they are interested in something else.
If the ears are back slightly then they are probably just tired and relaxing.
If the ears are flat back, then they are being grumpy and are aggrivated.
If the both ears are going back and forward constantly, then they are interested in what you are doing and listening to you and are happy.
its mind is on two things like if your talking then a little farther away theres another horse

What motions do horses ears make and why?
Horses have extremely mobile ears - they can move in almost any direction. Horses in the wild use their ears to help detect predators, and even though domestic horses don't need to do that, they still use their ears to tune into the environment around them, so generally, wherever their ears are pointed, that's what they're paying attention to - so if they're keeping an ear on you, that's a sign that they're paying attention to what you're doing! In addition, horses use their ears to express feelings. A happy, alert horse will have his ears pointed forward. An upset horse will have them about halfway back, and a frightened or angry horse will pin them back so they're almost flat against his head.
