Neville can already see the Thestrals. It's mentioned in the 
chapter "The eye of the snake". He says, he saw his grandfather die. 
There is another part that proves, that Neville can see the horses. 
It's the very beginning of the chapter "The Department of Mysteries". 
Harry, Neville and Luna climb the Thestrals, while Hermione, Ron and 
Ginny can't see them and need help from Luna.
