Flying B Ranch is a 33 acre horse ranch on the east coast of Florida, situated midway between Daytona Beach (with its famous beaches and attractions) and the charming town of New Smyrna Beach. The ranch is conveniently located less than 3 miles from Interstate 95 (see directions page), and is less than 10 miles from many of the major attractions in the area (beach access, the downtown Main Street area and the Daytona Speedway). We offer overnight accommodations for travelers with horses in our dedicated and renovated Horse Motel. The ranch is easily accessible for even the biggest truck/trailer/RV rigs - including the Budweiser Clydesdales and the Wells Fargo Stagecoach Team!

Flying B Ranch is owned and operated by International bestselling novelist Thomas Block and his wife Sharon.  Thomas Block's newest and most ambitious novel yet - Captain - and all of his extensively revised and updated novels from the past are now available in Trade Paperback and ebook versions directly through this website - visit "TOM'S NOVELS"!  To take a 'look inside' any of the novels, click on the ebook edition's cover.  For the latest information on his novels, and for a complete author's biographical sketch, visit our "NOVEL NEWS" page.  You can also go to our Facebook pages for even more information by clicking on the following links:

There are two feed stores within half mile of the ranch entrance, and a full service tack shop within 5 miles. The Silver Sands Equestrian Center is one mile away, and both Daytona Beach and New Smyrna Beach have many hotels and motels available for those travelers who aren’t using an RV. Several gas stations/convenience stores (most with diesel fuel available) are within a few miles, as are a number of grocery, drug and other types of stores. There are, of course, many restaurants in the surrounding Daytona Beach/New Smyrna Beach area. Telephone numbers for local Veterinary doctors and local farriers are posted.

We also offer travelers the ability to exercise their horses (see ‘Ranch Riding ’ section) in our 5 acre horse exercise area that is complete with a (grass) marked dressage arena, a large wooden round pen, and other horse exercise courses. In addition, our pastures all have a perimeter grass track surrounding them so that horses may be taken ‘on the trail’.
