Two Kansas families are mourning a teenager and her horse riding coach who were among the 49 people killed in the crash of a Comair plane Sunday in Kentucky.

Paige Winters, 16, and her riding teacher, Thomas Fahey, 26, were in Kentucky to find a new horse for the girl, a junior at Shawnee Mission East High School.

Paige Winters’ mother, Joan Winters, was scheduled to be on Comair Flight 5191 but stayed behind at the last minute because the flight was overbooked, the Winters family said Sunday.

Fahey had a lifelong love of hunter-jumper thoroughbred horses and was a partner in the Winsrun Equestrian Center in Bucyrus, Kan. The Faheys and Winters families are neighbors
