I think the reason why Season 3 was short might not have something to do with Equestria Girls (though it might partially be due to that).

I'm assuming that the reason why they decided to make Season 3 as 13 episodes is because they wanted the show to reach the 65 episode mark, where it is suitable for syndication. Most cartoons (usually Disney cartoons) end after 65 episodes because of this. I think Hasbro was trying to go for the same approach, but due to how successful the show became, it was renewed for a fourth season. This might also be the reason why Season 3 feels like the final season, what with Trixie and Discord being redeemed, Scoootaloo having a new sister figure, Rainbow Dash being one step closer to becoming a Wonderbolt and also Twilight being an alicorn.
