>I'm a little puzzled by your description of the orbit.
Here are theoretical and observational papers of astronomical objects
in horseshoe orbits:

Horseshoe orbits usually arise out of a 1:1 mean motion resonance although they
can appear in other dynamical contexts (e.g. see Nesvorny et al's work on
transNeptunian objects).
