Is it normal to have your foot slip out of a stirrup and how do you prevent that?

Yes, it's perfectly normal to have your foot fall out of the stirrup, but you should try not to. How to prevent it? Keep you heels way down and on the ball of your foot. I suggest leather riding boots, which allow more movement. Rubber boots just stay in place and make it kind of hard to shove down your heel.

Who invented the stirrup?
The originally stirrup was invented by the Chinese estimated in the year 221-206 BC. Who invented it for sure is unknown. The original look for it was a metal ring meant to slip the big toe in and that was only used on the left side. The full foot stirrup was invented by the Frankish King Charles Martel in 702 AD.
When riding what is the best footware you can use is?
The best footwear to ride in are riding boots. If you are not a regular rider and have nothing else, wear sneakers, but inexperienced riders should NEVER ride in sneakers if using stirrups that do not have a slip guard. A slip guard is a piece of leather or metal at the front of the stirrup that stops your foot from sliding through the stirrup if you lose your seat. People have gotten horrendous injuries by falling off horses and having their foot slide through the stirrup, then being dragged by the horse. You can improvise a slip guard using a few old reins tied around the stirrup in an X shape. If you cannot do this and must ride in regular stirrups, try to ride in something with a heel. Obviously a strappy sandal is not suitable to ride a horse in, but a heel will help stop your foot sliding through the stirrup.

When you are riding the best footwear you can wear is?
Riding boots! These are specifically designed for riding horses and are safe, as they have a heel which prevents your foot becoming stuck in the stirrup. However, paddock boots can also be worn, as well as wellington boots if you cannot find riding boots or are trying riding for the first time. NEVER wear trainers or flat soled shoes as these have no heels and your foot could slip through the stirrups and your foot could become stuck which is very dangerous.
