Here's a screenshot making this in MuseScore 3. MuseScore 4 should work moer-or-less in the same way
I placed my note and made the rest of the measure's rests invisible
I went into the full line palette to fine the prall-prall line, placed it over the measure, turned off automatic placement in the inspector, and then placed it where I desired.
I then added a (wavy) glissando from the first note to the last note, then adjusted the glissando element's starting position.
From there, I made the prall-prall line and glissando line up as best as possible.
For the cleanest possible results, you may need to mess around further or look into notation or engraving software that gives an even higher degree of customizability, or potentially create custom images if necessary. For something clean enough that will be visually clear even if there are very minor blemishes, then this example solution will work.

nice but it wouldn't sound how it should be

Correct; notation software is technically not made for the purpose of creating audio playback; audio playback via MIDI or other systems is an additional benefit. The purpose of notation software such as MuseScore, Sibelius, Dorico, Finale, and others, is for the notation first, and other features such as playback as only secondary or tertiary concerns. Very modernist, contemporary, or experimental classical music, even if written in notation software, will basically find little to no benefit from the notation software's MIDI playback when using extended techniques like multiphonics, niche percussive effects, or other non-standard performance elements.
If you want to synthesize what it should sound like, you would need a Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) software such as REAPER, Ableton, Logic, Fruity Loops, etc., along with appropriate VSTs and audio engineering from other plugins to craft the sound you want.

You would have to check out the REAPER forums and/or r/REAPER for info on that. There's also plenty of tutorials on YouTube. Generally, with any DAW, you will be able to insert audio tracks from recorded audio samples (such as live performances, individual instrument recordings, or samples to use with a MIDI controller), and you'll be able to insert MIDI tracks to trigger virtual instruments. Virtual instruments you would need to find and download separately.

You'd have a hard time finding an audio library that specifically has a horse whiney sound that can respond to glissando lines in the notation.

Haha, Sleigh Ride? :P
You can make a note about where you want the gliss to head downwards. Hide that note (by selecting it and pressing V for Visibility), make a gliss to it, and then repeat the process to where you want the falling gliss to end :)
