I don't think there ever has been any official explanation for it - I've heard that it was to get the series to the syndication minimum of 65 episodes after which it was going to end, and also that they weren't used to working on Equestria Girls so they needed a shorter season to have more time to figure it out (or at the very least, if there has been anything official backing up either of those two reasons, I don't remember seeing it).
