Chin Chin van de Eijkhof's dam's sire is Darco, who was also a participant and runner-up at the Barcelona Olympics. A World Cup finalist and World Champion who led the world rankings for five years among breeding stallions and is still in the top 50. His best known offspring are Parco and Otterongo, Winningmood and Mclain Ward's star filly, Sapphire. Sapphire's name is also linked to her pedigree in another way, as Eijkhof's great-granddam is the BWP mare of the year Idjaz-C, whose nine(!) offspring have reached Grand Prix level, including the two-time Olympic champion, Sapphire.

Also voted Breeder of the Year, Van' Merelnest's broodmare line has resulted in several international stallions, including the most famous Glasgow-W vh Merelsnest, Nations Cup winner, winner of the World Cup in Helsinki and the impressive Grand Prix in Rome with Jur Vrieling.
