I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

But I can't explain it at all! Could you help me understand?

(Other definitions for neigh that I've seen before include "Horse's noise" , "Equine utterance" , "one made by Bucephalus?" , "Mare's cry, e.g." , "Cry coming from mount" .)
