No written rules in the AERC book, just the Golden Rule, "Do unto others..."  
Think how YOU would feel if the individuals were reversed, then act on it.  
Or..ask the other riders if it would disturb their horses if you went on by.  
If they say "no", ask "are you sure?"  If they say, "yes, our horses will 
freak out if you go on by" then wait, out of courtesy.  Or decide which is 
the most important to YOU, placing one position higher in the ride or your 
conscience, knowing you were courteous to fellow riders.
