"You got the horse call! Ilia made this just for [Epona]. Set it to [Y] or [X] and use it while outside to play [Epona]'s favorite song and call her to you."

— In-game description

The horse call is an item made by Ilia for Link as a gift for his trip to Hyrule Castle. However, in the distraction of Ilia discovering Epona had a minor injury followed by her subsequent kidnapping by bulblins, it was never given to him.

Much later, after a long series of events which included Ilia being discovered in Telma's Bar amnesiac and travelling by wagon to Kakariko Village, Link is sent to the Hidden Village to save Impaz, who had helped save Ilia from the bulblins. Once all the bulblins in Hidden Village are defeated, Impaz emerges and thanks Link. She gives him "Ilia's charm". Once Link gives it back to Ilia, it triggers a rush of memories, dispelling her amnesia. With this done, she gives the charm back to Link, revealing it as the Horse Call.

After this, Link can use it to play Epona's Song and summon Epona from almost anywhere, in the same way he could use Horse Grass in specific areas previously.
