Is short stature be considered a disability?

No: Run of the mill short stature is not a disability. If you have an underlying syndrome associated with your small stature or a disease which stunted your growth, that may be another issue.

May be qualification: Several leading horse trainers are always looking for those interested in training to be jockeys. Short stature could be considered a qualification for some professions. Its a matter of doing the best with what you have.
