Gold champagne dun with tiger and double Lp.
Champagne causes the freckling and on a chestnut turns it golden colored. Tiger eye is the eyes. The snowflaking and blanket are both caused by the Lp. And the dun, has lightened her body color a bit more, creating a slightly dusty effect. She'll likely end up looking a lot like her sire as she ages.

Don't forget the flaxen.

... I wasn't sure about the flaxen. I have a horse that shares this same color, minus the dun and I didn't think that one had flaxen. So, if Raikit says flaxen, then there's also likely flaxen.
... and likely flaxen on mine too... Hah!

Definitely has flaxen, to bad it doesn't show on the legs as that would be pretty stunning

Yeah, flaxen can be tricky on the gold champagnes.
Here's a post I made about it back when I was still a newbie.
On a different topic: it's hilarious to go back through my old posts and see how much I didn't know that I now take for granted as common knowledge.

Ai-eeh-Yeah!
It's that moment that I feel really stupid and the comment crosses my mind... 'Yeah, I really did say, do that. What an idiot I was.'
