If I understand what you are describing, we had a horse that did the same. 
He would grind down the outside of his hind shoe(s) doing that rotation 
thing.  It never seemed to cause problems, he didn't go lame because of it, 
and he was one He** of an endurance horse.
Other than that contribution, I haven't any other advice on the subject.
