From the reviews

Alex at Barre Equestrian is truly wonderful! She is incredibly patient, supportive, and knowledgeable, creating a welcoming environment for riders of all levels. Her calm and encouraging teaching style makes learning both enjoyable and confidence-building.

★★★★★ — Danielle, Jun 2026

Our daughter has grown in leaps and bounds with Alex Barrere as her trainer. Not only has she been provided amazing opportunities to show at both local and ‘A’ rated venues, she has had the opportunity to learn true horsemanship from an amazing horsewoman. Barre Equestrian’s school horses are second to none, as well.

★★★★★ — Rachel, Jun 2026

Alex is extremely knowledgeable and supports the kids from beginner level and beyond. She also teaches proper horsemanship and safety which is essential to be a properly trained equestrian. My daughter's been riding with her for seven years now and Alex is always there to guide and support my daughter.

★★★★★ — Gail, Jun 2026

I had previously ridden in the novice class on my college’s IHSA team and wanted to pick riding back up post-grad. On top of being super knowledgeable about horses and riding, Alex is a terrific instructor. The lesson horses are amazing and well taken care of. Prices are also very reasonable. I highly recommend!!

Your first barre class at Barre Equestrian

New to barre? Almost everyone is their first time, and a good studio expects beginners to walk in the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: barre blends small isometric holds and tiny pulses at a ballet barre with light weights and mat work — it's low-impact and joint-friendly, but it works muscles you didn't know you had, so a little shaking in your legs is the point, not a problem. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: fitted leggings and a top you can move in — nothing baggy, so the instructor can see your form. Grip socks: most barre studios require grip socks — bring a pair or check whether they sell them at the front desk; the grippy soles keep you steady during the pulses. What to bring: water and a small towel. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign in and meet your instructor. It clicks fast — most people say their third class feels completely different from their first.

Barre is low-impact, so it suits most bodies and fitness levels — but if you're pregnant or working around an injury, check with a doctor and let your instructor know so they can offer modifications.
