Well if someone owns a share or a season in the horse they can't prevent them from doing that. In the late 80's or early 90's a guy horrified the public by breeding a daughter of Mr Prospector to one of his daughers. Nothing they could do about it, the guy owned a share or a season.
But other than that, you have to submit your mare to be approved by the fram who stands the stallion and they must approve your mare in order to go that stallion. Empire Maker wont be hosting any 5 claimers.
