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

'noise from a horse' is the definition.
'neigh' can be an answer for 'noise' (I have seen 'beastly noise' mean 'neigh' so perhaps 'noise' could also mean 'neigh'). I'm unsure of the 'from a horse' bit.

'heard no' is the wordplay.
'heard' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue.
'no' becomes 'nay' (archaic form 'no').
'nay' sounds like 'NEIGH'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for neigh that I've seen before include "Whinnying noise" , "Comment from Arab" , "Horse's sound" , "sound from the stable?" , "beastly noise" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
