At his performance test, Armin received the score of 8.33 on each of his gaits and finished seventh out of 33 stallions. He has been Grand Champion at Dressage at Devon and at Dressage at Los Angeles and was twice AHSA and USDF Horse of The Year. In 1991 Armin was long-listed for the Pan-American Games, won a team Bronze at the Sports Festival and finished 11th in the nation at Intermediaire I. In 1992 he won a team Bronze Medal at the North American Young Riders Championship. In 1995 Armin was ranked the No. 1 producer of USDF Hanoverian qualifiers and the third top producer of any breed. His daughter Alectra was the Reserve Champion Filly at Port Jervis in 1993 and Reserve Grand Champion at the 1994 New England Dressage Association fall show. She also qualified for the 1994 Northeast Breeders Championship. In 1996, Armin's daughter Atheena placed second in the Two Year Old Fillies class at Dressage at Devon. In 1997 daughter Ashante was the USDF Second Level Freestyle Reserve National Champion, and daughter Alectra scored a 7.5 and was named Champion Hanoverian mare at the Hilton Farm inspection.  

Absatz is an important line founder in the hannoverian breed. He is well represented by no less than 39 approved stallions who have spread his genes all over the German warmblood breeds. A lot of them sired approved sons themselves and thereby carried on the valuable blood of Termit so the A-line is well represented in a broad variety of crosses. Among this group of Absatz sons there are names like Argentan, Aresnik, Aderlaß, Abraham, Admiral I and II and last but not least Akzent I and II.

Abglanz was born in Trakehnen, and served at Celle State stud. He has founded the Hannvoverian A-line. The most prominent son is certainly Absatz who is today present through Argentan, Aderlaß, Admiral I and II and their get. His lesser known influence is coming through his Abhang I to III and his Trakehner son Kassio (by Abglanz - Impuls - Sporn). The latter has lead to Achat (exported to the US in 1976 and sire of Adamo), Archivar (gelded), Aristokrat (sire of Amazonas who died in 1988) and Askan, also through Gelria who is still alive and was represented by his sons Steuben (1983 - 1991) and Grand Galopin (still alive). The Admiral II-branch seems to currently step in the background a bit but is still present through Akzent I and II as well as the highly regarded Arsenik whose son Adios (dam by Diplomat - Wöhler is still alive.
