Oct 3, 2015 at 16:03 comment added Zhen Lin Ah, sorry, I was thinking of Barr-exactness + existence of coequalisers, which is what you need arbitrary intersections for. (Take the smallest congruence containing the relation corresponding to the parallel pair etc.)
Oct 3, 2015 at 15:55 comment added Todd Trimble @ZhenLin Is this an example of what you mean? If $D$ is Barr-exact and coequalizers split in $D$, then for any monad $T$ the category of algebras $D^T$ is Barr-exact. I think it's just an easy argument using the fact that under the hypotheses, the monadic functor $U: D^T \to D$ preserves and reflects finite limits and coequalizers.
Oct 3, 2015 at 14:29 comment added Zhen Lin Regarding the edit: is there an argument for Barr-exactness using only finite limits etc.? The only one I'm aware of uses the fact that $\mathbf{Set}$ has intersections of arbitrary collections of subobjects.
