They bring the colt to Jesus, throw their garments over it, and set him on it.

What Does Luke 19:35 Mean?

The colt has no saddle, so the disciples make one of their own cloaks, and then they set Jesus on the animal, the gesture of enthroning a king. When Jehu was proclaimed king, men spread their garments beneath him in the same homage.

The coronation of this King is assembled from borrowed and offered things, a colt on loan and cloaks off backs. He owns everything, yet he receives what love improvises. Honor offered out of poverty is honor still, and it is the kind his entry into Jerusalem is made of.
