The Ocarina of Time Epona Quest is an optional quest that spans the child and adult portions of Ocarina of Time. The primary rewards include learning Epona's Song and acquiring Epona. This will also open a mini-game where Link can win a Cow.
Learning Epona's Song
After Link first visits Castle Town, acquires the Lon Lon Egg from Malon, and wakes up Talon, this will trigger Malon to return to Lon Lon Ranch in the center of Hyrule Field. During the daytime, speak to Malon who is in the center of the corral at the ranch. Chat with her multiple times until she mentions a song that her mother wrote.[1] Then pull out your Fairy Ocarina and Malon will teach you Epona's Song.
Riding a Horse
When you return to Lon Lon Ranch as an adult, Talon has been kicked out and Ingo is now in charge. Malon is still around, found in the stables, sticking around just to make sure that Ingo doesn't mistreat the animals.
During the daytime, run up to the corral in the center of the area and speak with Ingo. He offers a little pony ride you can partake in for 10 Rupees. Fork over the goods and you'll appear inside the corral. Don't take the horse he offers you, but instead play Epona's Song. This will cause Epona to come up to you, so jump on top of her.
Ridge Epona and use her to jump both of the fences by pressing A shortly before you reach them. They'll give you 20 Rupees in total, earning you back more than what you paid to ride in the first place. Go back to Ingo and Z target him while riding Epona and accept his challenge to a race when you think you're ready. The trigger for this event is a bit tricky and you might need to pay to play a second time before he challenges you to a race.
