Yes, Slowdown (the Downgrade card that says "You cannot play Neigh cards.") can be countered.

[Wiki on Downgrades](https://unstablegameswiki.com/index.php?title=UU_-_Downgrade_Card)

> Upon entering a stable a downgrade's effect is active.

versus

[Wiki on Neigh](https://unstablegameswiki.com/index.php?title=UU_-_Neigh,_Neigh%27d,_Neighable,_Neighing)

> Neigh  
> All Neigh cards contain the card effect text "Play this card when any player tries to play a card. Stop that player's card from coming into play and send it to the discard pile instead."

So the Slowdown card doesn't come into play, doesn't enter a stable, and doesn't prevent the playing of Neigh against it.
