I imagine that they were probably successful in their fields (possibly showbiz too). That would explain the clear pressure Trixie feels to be top pony in her chosen field.

The alternative is the precise opposite. Her parents are nice, kindly ponies; honest ponies whom she loves. It's that they're just... insignificant. Trixie was always certain that she was destined for more than the limited life for which they had settled.
