They sound like 2 very rude and inconsiderate riders.
That said, if you are nervous enough to be hopping off to lead at any given prance or bounce, then the onus really is on you to make sure you are going out with suitable hacking companions on a suitable route. I imagine you put them in a difficult situation to say no, so perhaps next time just pre-plan who you hack with or if you ask to join make sure you give them a get out clause.
Agreed.
OP, I know it's hard when you're frightened but you really do have more chance of controlling your horse on board than from the ground.
