Tips for not losing my Stirrups?

I find if I put the weight down through my little toe rather than my big toe, I don't lose mine.
 
Think of your legs as being draped over the horse's sides. Don't squeeze constantly, let your legs hang down with your knees open and ankles relaxed, as constant squeezing doesn't push the horse forwards, it desensitizes his responses. Imagine the weight in your legs rather than your seat and your foot just resting in the stirrups.
 
As others have said, work without stirrups. Forget the legs as much as possible and concentrate on your seat and core, after all, that's the most important aid you have in riding. Work without stirrups will help you in establishing your seat, and with a secure seat there is no need for you to cling on to the horse with your legs- they will fall softly around the horse and your feet will rest gently in the stirrups! Also, concentrate on moving with the horse, this will help you to stay in balance. Your pelvis tips left and right ever so slightly as the horse moves in walk, the same movement occurs in trot but along with the slight tipping your pelvis also moves in a half circle forwards at the same time, this happens alternately on either side, in canter the pelvis simply goes forwards and back in a circle. Don't force these movements as that would unbalance the horse, but knowing this will give you a better idea of how to stay in balance with the horse from your seat- this should really help you in terms of keeping your feet in the stirrups as losing your stirrups is a result of being unbalanced! :)
 
Definitely work with stirrups as everyone has said. You can, however, also buy some Mountain Horse stirrups and boots (I have the boots - they're great!). They have special grooves in that sort of fit together.

Its not a solution but its useful :)
