It depends on the circumstances and the way a horse neighs. My friend's horse neighs a greeting when she starts walking toward it. It could also mean it is in pain or is frustrated. Check the ears for other clues (if they are pointed toward you, it's listening to you, if they are leaning back the horse is irritated, if they are PINNED back then the horse is really mad, and if they are pricked straight up it's listening to something.) or the tail (if it's swishing, it could be angry or just swatting at flies). Hope this helps!
