There will be rebar every 4 feet and if I
can figure out how I might add some horizontal rebar about 2/3 up the wall .


You can give added strength to the block wall using a wire mesh, about
every 3rd - 4th course. Sits in the mortar.

There is also rebar channel block for the top course that can tie the
vertical cavity rebar. Lay rebar in and tie them together with rebar
twist ties.
