Ah indeed, Large Tracts of Land...Isn't the "large territories to explore" in itself part of the new world trope?
I do like a) common animals of the Americas as "sentient" creatures that are also roughly between Halfling and Goliath size (depending on animal) and b) Moose as mounts.I spend my lunch hour making a small photo dump:
Hill Folx aka halfling (3 families: Thorn-Back, River-Feet, Proud-Burrow)

I think most people dont really know how big is a moose in real-life. Sadly the pictures here make them mostly horse-sized, but they are much bigger than riding horses.
They are really impressing, beautiful creatures. Sorry for the tangent!

Nothing makes you move slowly and speak in nice, soothing tones like a hornéd (or antlered) beast the size of a truck.
Well...
