Getting Epona is one of the first things you can do as Adult
Link. I'd advise doing it either as soon as you become Adult Link,
or after completing the Forest Temple (as then you'll have the
Bow, useful for horseback archery).

You first need a wallet full of rupees, and Epona's Song (obtained
by showing Malon your Ocarina after waking up Talon). During the day
go to Lon
Lon Ranch and ask Ingo if you can ride the horses. It'll cost 10
Rupees. Once you're inside, use Epona's Song to bring her over and
then just jump on. Ride around the field and jump over fences, then talk to Ingo,
who'll challenge you to a race. If he
doesn't, try talking to him a few times. He ask you to wager 50 Rupees
in the race. If he wins, you'll loose the money, so you could
actually need a lot of Rupees.
If you win, he'll go crazy and challenge you to another race,
promising you Epona if you win, but he'll close the ranch if you
do best him twice. Ride Epona to the fence on the Ranch-house side of the
field, and speed up. With any luck, Epona will jump over it, and
you will be in Hyrule Field. Congratulations, you now have
completed the Epona Quest! Ingo will give Malon the ranch back and
she'll fall in love with you and whatnot, but that doesn't matter,
it's another story. |

When riding Epona, six carrots will show at the bottom of the
screen. Each of these represents a speed boost, which you
can use by pressing A. You need a couple of carrots to jump
the larger fences, but during races make sure not to eat the
sixth carrot, because Epona will lose speed needed to jump
even the smallest of fences. Carrots regenerate over time,
so try and keep a happy medium, building up your stock when
you're ahead, and using them effectively when you're behind.
Also, competing riders tend to stick to the inside track, so
if you're ahead you can block them from overtaking you by
also using the inside.
