How did Jesus ride a donkey and a colt at the same time?

The account of Jesus riding a donkey and a colt simultaneously is found in the Gospel of Matthew (21:1-7). This is understood as a fulfillment of the prophecy in Zechariah 9:9, which mentions a king coming in humility. The phrase suggests that Jesus was to be presented on both animals, symbolizing peace and humility. However, it is likely that he rode primarily on the colt, with the donkey accompanying it, rather than literally riding both at once.
