Pedigree:
Ringo Starr is a son of the stallion O’Neill van ’t Eigenlo, who is currently competing in the sport under Henrik von Eckermann as "Minute Man."

Granddam Janta (s.Bergerac) is best known for the mare Nanta (s.Caridor), who, along with Jonella Ligestri (ITA), won the 2006 Nations Cup in Falsterbo. Nanta’s full brother, Winning Boy, competed up to 1.40m level with Chantal Klingenberg.
