I dont think that the cast on the left leg is for raising the level. He has a special shoe on that is absorbing any extra weight he may be putting on that leg to compensate for what he is taking off of his injured leg. The wrappings up top is to support his ligaments and tendons from any undue stress from any extra weight as well. It is not really a cast though, since Micheal Matz has been there to change it a few times. It seems to be working, and hopefully continues to work.

You are right it isn't a cast per say. And it does raise the level of the other hoof, so that it matches the other leg. It is done to minimize the risk of a certain affliction that effects horses that can not put equal weight on all legs. It is also a shock absorber, you are right on that as well!
