Ok, for White Factor and PATN.

White Factor is harder to explain. In the game it shows up as "white socks" and "facial blazes", and the expression of the white determines how high the socks are or how big the blaze is, the more expression, the more white. It also works on patterned horses like Tobianos, splash and Rabicano, on how much white they can show.
If you look back up at the Sooty information at the black based non sooty horse I posted a link too, he also has Tobiano, and a White Factor of "Medium". He shows an "average" pattern of white.
This next horse is also Tobiano and has a "Miminal" White Pattern, and as you can see has less white on her body:

This Tobiano Splash horse has and "Extensive" White pattern, and see how much white she has:

PATN only shows up on Appaloosas, and depending on how large or small it is in extension, will vary the size of the blanket the horse has. A PATN none will have no blanket (one of my favorite kinds actually)

While a "Medium" PATN shows a decent blanket:

A "Extensive" PATN will give you a "White" horse, on a homozygous Lp horse:

A "Extensive" PATN with only a Hetero Lp gene will give you a Leopard Appaloosa:

So with Appaloosa, LL is none appaloosa, Hetero Llpl shows spots on the blanket depending on the PATN's expression, and a Homozygous LlpLlp will have no spots on the blanket or body, depending again on the expression of the PATN.
