He absolved the 2000 stallion performance test in Neustadt/Dosse as one of the best stallions of an age class numbering 51 contenders, in Performance class I. He was especially brilliant in jumping, in which he attained the highest of scores. Competent is the first of meanwhile several approved sons of the highly esteemed Compliment and along with Glückspilz, Graphit and Gotthard, carries an agglomeration of the G-blood on the maternal side of the pedigree, which is so invaluable for Hanoverian horse breeding. Earlier generations of his ancestry include the East Prussian impressed stallions Landherr and Keith, who were very popular sires of riding horses in their day. The dam Gescha produced the one year younger approved full-brother Campo Grande who is being used as a stud horse in Hessia and Baden-Württemberg in the same mating combination.
