They also didn’t bother showing us how are the Royal Sisters are doing after the timeskip despite they are freaking important(especially with how their retirement crap kicked started season 9 here).
Yeah…
@Jumpitydude
That is almost certainly what it was.
While this isn’t exactly the same I did ask Big Jim on Twitter about Captain Cealeno and the Parrot Pirates not appearing and he said it was because of time, budget and resources. I figure its a similar situation here. Just not worth it for the few seconds you would see them. Capper, their sea pony assets and Tempest (who was likely the easiest to do same as any background pony with a bit more time for the horn and scar I would think) were already done or extremely easy to do.
It was probably a time issue. They had a lot to do as it was, they couldn’t make those extra two puppets for Novo and Skystar’s hippogriff forms. That being said, they could have had Silver appear in Mt. Aris instead of Seaquestria, so they just would have had to make the hippogriff models for them so the two of them could appear later.
Yeah…
I am. I’m just saying it would have nice to see them a little more.
They took the time to recolor and alter a tall background unicorn into Tempest, so why not do the same to a pair of female hippogriffs?
That’s why I like to think they were in the fight but in our headcanons.

Or the beach so the residents of Seaquestria can hear her speech as well.
Also, yeah, I can see your point. This is just my thoughts on the matter.
