She first rode a Shetland pony at age three on a farm near Luhmuhlen, Germany. At age five her parents bought an old farmhouse and set up a small stud farm. She began eventing on ponies at age eight, and made the switch to horses at age 14. (team-eventing.de, 17 Aug 2011)

To compete at the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo. (noz.de, 04 May 2021)

Ritual:

She has a bracelet with the name of her horse, Samourai du Thot, on it. She also wears a belt that her partner bought her. "I would probably get quite nervous if one of the things went missing before I have to compete." (nsbits.com, 14 May 2019)

Philosophy:

"Focus on the path in front of you rather than on the big goal at the end." (noellefloyd.com, 02 Jan 2019)

OCCUPATION
She has worked as a national coach in junior eventing, and is also a fully qualified groom. "I always said I never wanted to be a professional rider because it's really hard to earn money, especially as an event rider, in Germany. There are only a very few who can do it and make a living from it, and normally they are not just riding, but also selling and training, so I am quite happy that it is a mix of coaching and riding."

LATE REPLACEMENT
She was originally named as a reserve rider for the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro. She went on to compete at the Games after her teammate Andreas Ostholt's horse was deemed unfit to ride by the German equestrian management team. Krajewski won a silver medal in the team event.
