Dale, sorry to see what happened to your pit after all that hard work! We use cinderblock alot here in the south. Two of my barns were built with cinderblock. In the stall areas, we built the walls with wire between the block, put re-bar in the top openings of the block,(which is a little tricky to do since the blocks are layed in an alternating design), and finally we poured concrete from the top to re-inforce the walls. The walls have never cracked and if one of the horses kicked them, I guarantee you they only did it one time before they learned the wall was certainly stronger then their 1k bodies Good luck!
