Just yesterday, Fair Meadows in Tulsa, Oklahoma announced new restrictions regarding horses and horsemen coming from certain states, as related to the COVID-19 pandemic. The statement reads as follows.
TULSA, OK—JULY 6, 2020—As a safeguard effective immediately at Fair Meadows in Tulsa: Horsemen arriving from Texas are not permitted on the grounds. Entry of any horse(s) currently in Texas will only be accepted if the trainer agrees to arrange shipping such that the horse(s) are dropped off to the care of another trainer and the handlers from Texas do not come on the grounds. Jockeys will not be allowed on grounds at Fair Meadows, Tulsa from Texas, Minnesota, Florida, or Louisiana.

Because Fair Meadows is located at Expo Square, on the same grounds as the Built Ford Tough Livestock Complex, where the NSBA World is scheduled to take place in August, many people had concerns. NSBA has since released the following statement.
“In response to recent postings, NSBA reminds exhibitors that www.nsba.com/world-show is the official source of news for NSBA, as well as the NSBA Facebook page. The NSBA World Championship Show is scheduled for August 7 – 16, 2020 in Tulsa, Oklahoma. We are closely monitoring the COVID19 pandemic as it pertains to the show and to Oklahoma. NSBA will continue to work with the facility, state and local authorities in preparing for the event to move forward as planned while keeping the safety of our exhibitor as the utmost importance.”
