I also just did a quick search of hom W1 horses. As you can see, the highest WF is Minimal, while quite a few are None. This is because if the WF is any higher, the foal would be overloaded with white and die.

Burnt Peace has a minimal WF with no genes to add to the white, which is a good start.

Dollys Cherry: I would call that cross rather safe. Both have minimal WF, so even if the foal DOES get both W1 and tobiano, the WF would be rather low. Adding in the frame would increase it a bit, but I don't think by too much.

Toasty N Sweet: W1, as discussed, is a risky gene. This horse does have a WF of none though, so if I was aiming for a hom W1 foal, I'd try this cross.

Opposition to Love: Hm...W20 I'm pretty sure if one of the ones that cause an increase in white, which is why she's so white. In saying that, both horses would have a WF of minimal. Like I said before with Toasty, If I was aiming for a hom W1 foal I'd try this cross, but I'd hold my breath even more so than the second cross.

Also remember that sometimes you'd get bad luck and wind up with a foal with a slightly higher WF than both parents. What may give you a dead foal one season could produce a live one the next.
