A horse is as fat as you make him by how much you feed him. The general rule is you should see 3 ribs. Some people like a little more weight than the 3-rib rule allows. I personally don't want to see any ribs and never hip bones. Racing Thoroughbreds alway see 3 ribs. They are in tip-top shape. Stock type halter horses are so heavy you would never know they have bones. Some of this is personal preference. But you don't want to see more than 3 ribs, hip bones, sunken neck and flanks, the whole ridge of the back bone or sharp bony withers. Most people can tell at a glance if the horse is underweight. Then there is the other end of the spectrum. Too fat horses can have their lives shortened by obesity. A good work-out 3 or 4 times a week will keep your horse in good shape. He will live longer and be happier and so will you.
