Just jumping in to say that as the third horse is chestnut-based, she can not be displaying silver. Silver only affects black pigment, so chestnuts will never show it. It is possible she has flaxen, but gold champagne horses often have lighter manes. The leopard complex (which is causing her blanket patterning) also causes dilution in the mane and tail, as does the grey gene. (For an example of how much these factors can lighten the mane take a look at her sire, another Gold Champagne. You can see in his gallery pictures that he would have a dark stripe in his mane, but now that he's older his Lp has caused it to turn white.) So basically, even if your mare does have silver she will not display it because she is chestnut-based. She is grey over gold champagne with a leopard pattern and possible flaxen.
