Two related tracks get called “the Lon Lon Ranch song.” Epona’s Song is the short melody you perform on the ocarina. Lon Lon Ranch is the background arrangement by Koji Kondo, which incorporates the same melodic material and adds Malon’s singing when you approach her. If a tab site, a MIDI pack, or a ten-hour loop does not say which one it is, it is usually the theme. If a page shows C-buttons or X, Y, A, it is the song.

A location-theme upload
The video under this paragraph is a 27 Dec 2008 upload titled as Ocarina of Time music, Lon Lon Ranch. I file it with the theme, not with the ocarina lesson. The Switch 2 arrangement and the Hyrule Symphony track are on the theme page, with their own dates.
Questions
Is Epona’s Song the same as the Lon Lon Ranch theme?
No. The song is a short ocarina melody Malon teaches. The theme is the location music. Near Malon, her vocal of the song sits on top of the theme.
Which page has the buttons?
Epona’s Song. The theme page is for releases, sheet-music links, and covers.
