Why were the equestrian events of the 1956 Summer Olympics held in Sweden?

Because Australia had very strict quarantine regulations. There was a 6-month pre-shipment period, meaning that the horses, and their riders, could not train at all before the event.
The IOC thus decided, in 1954, to pick Stockholm and its Olympic Stadium as an alternate venue.
