ordered

'been told to' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'rode off embarrassed' is the wordplay.
'off' indicates anagramming the letters.
'embarrassed' becomes 'red' (someone may blush or go red when embarrassed).
'rode' anagrammed gives 'orde'.
'orde'+'red'='ORDERED'

'having' is the link.
