The view of Fort Pinta from Moorland

Fort Pinta is a fort located in Moorland, the southernmost part of Silverglade. The fort was built by Jon Jarl in the 13th century, and was modernized by Governor Gareth in the 17th century. The chief manager of all affairs at the fort is James.

History

The fort was built during the Viking age and was used in many wars as a shelter. The fort was originally built by Jon Jarl in the 13th century but was modernised in the 17th century by Governor Gareth, who also gave the fort its current name. A statue of Gareth stands at the western side of the fort.

Fort Pinta is a town intended for tourists. It can be reached most easily by a narrow stone bridge and sits on a stone outcrop that overlooks the ocean.

In 2018, the fort got a whole new look when Silverglade was restyled, and once again got updated in 2020. In 2022, it got a small update in which the staircase to the beach was replaced with a stone ramp. In 2023, the area just below the ramp was slightly changed. In 2024, Fort Pinta received a visual update, mainly a texture update to freshen up its appearance.

Trivia

• Fort Pinta is one of the two towns that are available to non-Star Riders.
• Its "mayor" is a pony named Mayor Peanut.
• A variation of each new breed was formerly placed at the horse sale area in the fort for a limited time (until the next new horse breed was released) that was available from player level 1. This was available from 2017 until 2024, when the level 1 variation location was moved to Moorland Stables.
• The pony barge at the Fort Pinta docks used to be the location where Jorvik Ponies could be purchased, but they have since been moved to the area in the fort itself with the rest of the horses for sale. The pony barge is still at the docks, but now empty.
