Don't Be Tardy: Kim Zolciak battles phobia of horses at Texas ranch as cross-country trip continues

Kim Zolciak battled her phobia of horses at a Texas dude ranch on Tuesday's episode of Don't Be Tardy as her family continued their cross-country trip.

On day 17 of her RV trip, she and her family drove to the Los Cedros Ranch in Amarillo, Texas.

'I don't need to get on a horse,' Kim, 42, told her husband Kroy Biermann, 35. 'You're the only horse I've been on that I like.'

Kim fretted over what would happen at the ranch, acknowledging that she suffers from profound anxiety around horses.

Her daughters were less afraid, and looked forward to the men they thought they'd meet.

'The thing I'm looking the most forward to at the dude ranch is…' began Ariana Biermann, 17.

'The dudes?' asked her sister Brielle Biermann, 22.

No need: 'I don't need to get on a horse,' Kim told her husband Kroy Biermann, 35. 'You're the only horse I've been on that I like'

'Obviously,' Ariana returned. 'What else would I be looking forward to—the horses?'

Once they got to the ranch, the girls slathered on makeup and donned sexy outfits while Kim slipped on stiletto boots.

'Dude, this girl's gonna be like, ''Did I accidentally order hookers?'',' Ariana said of the ranch's owner, emerging from the RV in short fringed shorts and a tiny crop top.

She was aghast to see the ranch's female workers sporting tees, jeans and fringed chaps.

'Oh my goodness, look at this!' said Los Cedros owner Phyllis Nickum, eyeballing the family. 'This is the most fancy we've ever seen any attire out here, ever.'

Brielle and Ariana looked around at the women running the ranch and grew dispirited.

'Dude, where are the dudes?' Ariana asked. 'I'm so confused.'

'This outfit was to find me a man, not to find me a horse,' noted Brielle, who was dressed in skimpy shorts and a top like her sister's.

Phyllis told the family that they might be terrified, but would grow to love riding a horse.

Good one: 'Dude, where are the dudes?' Ariana asked. 'I'm so confused'

'Kim, do you have any boots other than those?' she asked the reality star.

Neither Kim nor Brielle wanted to go riding, but Brielle was finally convinced when she heard there was a scenic canyon to photograph, noting, 'I would do pretty much anything for a good Instagram post.'

She and her mom drank wine before they went riding, to calm down.

'These are big animals,' Kim said, as Kroy nudged her to return to the group. 'They can kill you. One kick and you can die.'

Kim's four smallest children were waiting to climb atop their horses, though Ariana couldn't believe there was only one 'dude' there to help them.

She tried to stay upbeat: 'You know what they say, 'Ride a horse, ride a cowboy,' she offered.

'Ride a horse, SAVE a cowboy,' Brielle corrected her.

Kroy enjoyed the ride to the canyon, but Kim, anxious, complained the whole time.

'I'm done, I wanna go back,' she told her husband midway. 'I'm done, I quit.'

She got off her horse and walked slowly on her skinny heels to a waiting production vehicle.

The family then reached Palo Duro Canyon, the second largest canyon in the U.S.

They gathered in the open air and took a photo, posing in their sleek outfits.

Over it: 'I'm done, I wanna go back,' Kim told her husband midway. 'I'm done, I quit'

'I'm so proud of Kim for getting on the horse and riding it,' Kroy said. 'I mean, she rode it for a long time!'

'It's not happening again, so everybody enjoy it,' Kim cracked.

Don't Be Tardy will return next week on Bravo.

Never again: 'It's not happening again, so everybody enjoy it,' Kim cracked of her horse-riding
