Horses are measured in "hands," which represent the width of the average man's palm, standardized at four inches. A horse is measured from the ground (front hoof) in a straight line up to the highest point of the withers (above the shoulder, where the back and neck meet, roughly where the mane ends). The average Quarter Horse is about 15 hands, times 4 = 60 inches, so about five feet tall from hoof to withers. Hanovarians can be as tall as 17 or 19 hands.
Old Billy the barge horse was measured at 19 hands (6 feet 3 inches) tall. He was considered one of the tallest horses in recorded history.
Horses range greatly in hight. The average riding horse would probably be around 5 feet tall.
A maiden horse is a horse that has never won a race. There are special races called maiden races that only horses that have never won a race can enter.

If the horse is under 2 feet in length, that's bad. If the horse is more than 2 feet high, then that's better than being under 2 feet high. I'm glad to have cleared that up.
