When and why would you start feeding gumnuts? Should I start?

I have a 15 year old QH he is a very good doer but does get a little stiff and "old man like". I know gumnuts are often fed to senior or elderly horses and I was just wondering if I should start feeding them, I've heard they're great for the horses and they love them. So can anyone give me an opinion and some information please?

    Id say you may as well start feeding it to him to keep him happy, Ive never heard of them but we use previcox (they say for use in dogs only but a ton of people use them all the time for horses and vets prescribe it) on our arthritic mare and it helps her a lot. I would say start using something now at least before he gets more uncomfortable and really needs it.
