How do you get Epona?

Once you have emerged from the Temple of Time seven years later, you will be able to call on Epona for easy transport across Hyrule. Head to Lon Lon Ranch to visit your old childhood friend Malon, and Epona. Upon your arrival, you will notice that things have changed on the ranch, with Ingo now in charge. Head over to the horses and call Epona by playing Epona's Song on your Ocarina of Time. Ingo will charge you rupees for riding the horses, so agree to. Ride around with Epona once, then agree to do it again. While riding the 2nd time, go over to Ingo and talk to him. He will challenge you to a race, with a wager. Agree to the race, and beat him around the track. While riding on the track, watch your carrots carefully, since that monitors Epona's energy. However, you will have to gain plenty of speed to jump over the larger gates along the track. Jumping over every gate will save time. Also, keep Ingo in back of you as best you can, by cutting him off or blocking his route, especially in the inside of the track. Once you beat him once, he will challenge you again, this time with Epona at stake. Beat Ingo again, and Epona will be yours. However, Ingo does not make it that easy for you to just leave. He will lock the gate leading to the exit of the ranch. Instead of going that way now, head over to the short portion of the fence along the far wall of the ranch. You should be able to jump over it with enough speed, and land back in Hyrule Field. You'll now be able to use Epona in the Field when you play Epona's Song.
