      Mobs standing on solid non-transparent blocks cast a shadow on blocks underneath.
      See photos below.
      Horses standing on blocks above me cast shadow even though blocks are solid.

       
      Additional information from Skaijie:

       Steps to reproduce

      1. Create two stacked platforms with a 1 block gap in between
      2. Summon a horse on the higher platform
        → The horse's shadow is observed on the lower platform

      The larger the shadow cast by the entity, the lower the shadow can be rendered. A cat will not produce a shadow on the lower platform using the above steps, but will produce one if the higher platform is changed to top slabs and the lower platform is moved upwards by 1 block. The lower shadow is also smaller than the higher shadow.
