Silver Dapple; Black horse with a Silver gene. The father looks to be the same but with the addition of the Grey gene. As for the mother, since she has visible Flaxen it means that this horse is a carrier of a single recessive Flaxen gene. She also has Silver in her ancestry which isn't visible as she's a Chestnut, so it's possible (but unlikely) that your horse is double Silver. Genetics are something like: Ee/aa/Zn or ZZ/fN/tt (tt being the Tiger Eye gene which is responsible for the colored eyes).
