First off, you need to understand that every breed as it's own height average. This is the point where it balances it out. So shorter horses bred together will typically result in taller offspring if the breed height average is taller. Vice versa for taller parents and shorter breed average.

Just wanna make sure you know that ;P

So the only way to get your ACLs above breed average (15hh, look on breed page like you do for confo), would be to cross breed out to taller breeds (if that's possible)
