So, if this is not herding, whats the best way to try and convey this to the refs at an event? Ask a question during the driver's meeting?
My reading is that the "but does not" phrase distinguishes between herding and possessing. If it's possessed, it stays in the same orientation. If it's herding, it does not stay in the same orientation. As Dustin pointed out, <G34> does not differentiate between them.
