<p>So the neigh card states you can only neigh a card that is played, so the debate is does the active effect of "You may <em>bring</em> a baby unicorn card from the nursery into your stable" count as playing a card? </p>

So the neigh card states you can only neigh a card that is played, so the debate is does the active effect of "You may *bring* a baby unicorn card from the nursery into your stable" count as playing a card?

No, this does not count as "playing" a card.
From the [rules](https://12ax7web.s3.amazonaws.com/accounts/1/images/lot_23484_rules.pdf):
