This is a new saddle, if the tree is broke I'm gonna be very
upset lol. I didn't want to wrap for similar reasons, but I also don't
want to get the tendons dependent on the extra support either.

Sounds t me like your saddle does not fit.
Have you had your tree checked for breaks.
Wrapping legs on the trial does not help the
swelling. I always worry that wrapping just makes the swelling cause the wraps
to tighten and cause more problems.
I need some thoughts and ideas here... my 3yr old is worked
fairly regularly here at home. We go trail riding a once or twice a
month. My friend's horses stand in a pasture until we go trail
riding. Mind you they aren't worked hard on the trails at all.
However, every time my colt comes back with a sore back and stocks up in the
legs. I rub him down after every ride and cool him out on the way back
in. We honestly walk most of the trails with a very limited amount of
trotting or canter. Here at home he works all 3 gaits, plus
extensions, I like to do a lot of bending and flexing too. My friends
horses don't come back sore or nothing. Heck my daughter's new 3yr old
stud (we just got him a few wks ago and he was about 250lbs underweight) did
better then my colt on a trail. He's been standing in a pasture eating
non-stop so he can put his weight back on and start getting back in
condition later. I've thought of starting to wrap my colts legs on the
trails, but really hate to do that. I just don't know what else to do
thou??? As to his back it's sore where the tree of my english saddle
sits on his back, not his withers.
HELP!!!
