So I take photos on the side for fun. I’m wanting to get more lenses for my Canon Rebel 6 but don’t know what lenses will work. Does anyone know of any?
I take all sorts of photos. Mainly of horses and cattle and some landscape. Love to take portraits of horses, cattle and people on horses. Also starting to dabble in action shots of people riding horses.
I’m new to camera still so any help is appreciated

When I first got into photography four years ago, I was only familiar with my wife's SX530 HS camera. I bought a T7 and a book written just for me...Digital Photography for Dummies by Barbara Obermeier. I have read it twice and always find something new. Plus I downloaded the manual an go through with while using the camera along with it. jaycie01, digest the replies, buy what fits the budget, experiment and learn. Above all, have fun!

A 10 mm, even on EF-S might be too wide for a polarizer :

Bottom line you don't really need any additional lenses. You can do what you sad you like shooting just fine with what you have. You can upgrade what you have because there are better lenses out there but they won't offer you any different focal lengths unless you add a FL you don't currently own. Perhaps one of the 150-600mm super zooms for instance. Or on the other end of the FL something like the10-22mm ultra wide lens.
Someone above suggested something like the 55-250mm or 18-135mm and although they are better lenses they don't offer anything different that what you have. They duplicate it. Depending on the final use you have for these photos, better lenses is a question you need to answer. If the final use is social media like Facebook, I doubt you will ever tell a difference. If you make nice prints than, yes, higher quality lenses are worthwhile.
Don't fall into mantra the you need to upgrade if it won't better what you do. Adding something out of your current lenses covered FL makes more sense.

Unless you need a macro, while that might fall into your current focal length range, its specialization makes it worth it.
