Scavs,
I can only speak from my experiences.
If one of my mares looks like a good match to a stallion, I contact the farm.
Yes, they have to approve the mare (and she has to be vetted, coggins, etc.).
If the stallion has a full book, you might be rejected.
But if his book isn't full, a "lesser" mare might be approved.
From my experience, I'll just tell you to develop a good relationship with the farm where the stallion of your choice stands. Pay your stud fees in a timely manner. Keep things above board.
