I've taken it to mean "sixteen hands, maybe more."

Horse height is traditionally measured in hands.

Another question :)
Think all of you know this song:
True you ride the finest horse I have ever seen
Standing sixteen, one or two, with eyes wild and green
And you ride the horse so well, hands light to the touch
I could never go with you no matter how I wanted to

So please help me to make any sence of the second line.
What is "Standing sixteen, one or two" about? What do these figures - 16, 1, 2- mean? The question may be considered to be a stupid but English is not my native language. So forgive me you native speakers :)

Current version:
height of horse
age of rider
number of route
pints were drunk
stakes were made
