Horse Beer Premier

So I'm going with the Chocolate Oatmeal Stout featuring Alehoof also known as Turnhoof or Creeping Charlie. Sounds suspiciously equine to me, and the herb has little horse hoof shaped leaves. It has a fresh mowed hay smell to it, and when presented to my roommate for a sniff with no prompting she described it as smelling "Like horse feed." I am starting with a limited three gallon batch of this to feature at AC at certain room parties >.> Help me think of a good horsy name for it, and please keep it clean. I'm wondering if I should add fresh carrot juice at bottling?
Also, according to the first herb manual I ever owned it is "Appetizer, astringent, digestive, diuretic, pectoral, stimulant, tonic. Ground ivy is helpful in relieving diarrhea, and inflammation of mucous membranes, as in colds, sore throat, and bronchitis, snuffing the fresh juice us the nose often helps nasal congestion, and headache, it has been used for problems caused by hypoacidity, for catarrhal enteritis, and for liver ailments. Ground ivy has also be beneficial in cases of neurasthenia, and morbid hysteria; and, made into a bath additive, it is said to be good for sciatica, gout, gravel, and stones. The fresh juice may be given to small children for tummyache. To stimulate appetite and promote digestion, use a decoction of the dried herb."

I am curious about trying the drinks.
