Catch a Deer North of Outskirt Stable

You can find a deer in the small forest areas on the hill north of the Outskirt Stable. These are marked with a red circle in the image above.

Use a Sneaky Elixir or Wear the Stealth Set When Catching a Deer

Save the game once you see a deer in the forest so you can reload in case it runs away and despawns. Then, drink a Sneaky Elixir or wear the Stealth Set when approaching the deer.

If the deer turns around as you approach it from behind, quickly press the A Button when it charges towards you to mount it. Press the L Button repeatedly to soothe it so you can ride it back to the Outskirt Stable.

Make sure to avoid getting off the dear before bringing it back to the stable as it will immediately run away as soon as you dismount.

Bring the Deer to Toffa

Go back to Toffa at Outskirt Stable again to show the deer. He will give you a Silver Rupee and one Pony Point, completing the side quest.
