Mark's Gospel, followed by both Luke and John, simply had Jesus ride into Jerusalem on a colt, but Matthew expanded the story, making it seem ridiculous:
21:2 Go into the village over against you and straightway you shall find an ass tied, and a colt with her, loose them and bring them unto me. 21:5 Behold thy king cometh unto thee, meek, and sitting upon an ass and a colt the foal of an ass 21:7 And they brought the ass, and the colt, and put on them their clothes, and they set him thereon.
So, in Mark, Luke and John, Jesus rode a colt or young ass into Jerusalem. In Matthew, Jesus rode both an ass and a colt, apparently at the same time.
