Usually the apatite of your horse can answer that for you. But it depends on the weight of the horse and what type of work the horse does. Also on what type of feed you give your horse. If there is a lot of food left after your horse walks away from it, and you notice your horse getting fatter,you need to cut back a little. If your horse tries to eat everything in sight that is eatable and you can see the outlines of its ribs and hip bones, you need to feed more.

Are you supposed to give your horse salt water if it has colic?

No. You can allow some water while waiting for the vet, but certainly not salt water and no food at all. I also like to pick up all manure from the horse's stall. That way you can keep track of how much or if your horse is pooping. The vet will want to know.
