Well W20 exacerbates any other Kit Genes adding more white and his white factor on the secondary strand is large which would also add more white. You can remove the W20s and/or lower the white factor which would both help. Here is a horse that is Hom W2 with no other kit/frame and a light white factor to give you an idea of what he may look like, though he would be Het.

It should help but he's also got W1 and Splash both which add even more white. To be safe, removing the W1 or W2 might be better as you can have a horse that is Hom W20 but has no or little white on him.

I love playing with the white genes! All my lined horses are some sort kit white line.
Now he has a few things factoring in to his whitening out.
I would remove the appy genes associated with varnish because by his age and by how the white on him looks it looks like he is varnishing out. So by 15 you'll have a completely white horse.

Menstrosity is right! W20 exaggerates any other white gene on the horse . It's much safer to have w20 on a horse if you plan to breed them than it is W1, W2 and W3 even some frame and sabino genes.

Next would be the W2 . W2 will create alot of white along the body of the horse and is a very high risk for breeding if crossed with another horse with any white or kit genes. If you like the white genes but don't want so soo much there are some other options.

Dropping the white factor to light or minimal or none will help decrease the severity of it

Changing W2 to another gene like splash or sabino or tobiano or just removing it in general

Remove genes involved with varnish.

I second removing the W1 or W2 as they are the deadliest genes in the game.
