They’re taking the bull by the horns.

Organizers of the country’s largest bull-riding tour are chipping in to repair the Financial District’s “Charging Bull” statue, which was vandalized last week by a religious zealot.

Professional Bull Riders, which opens its rough-and-tumble season at Madison Square Garden in January, will donate $1 from each ticket purchased — which could add up to $35,000 — to fix the iconic bronze statue that was damaged when a crazed Texas man bashed it with a steel-reinforced banjo on Saturday.

“Charging Bull is an enduring symbol of resilience — being knocked down and getting back up,” PBR spokesman Andrew Giangola said. “That’s what cowboys do.”

“And clearly, it’s a badass bull, just like the bovines of the sport,” he added.

Giangola said the opening weekend will mark the 14th straight year the Garden and the Big Apple will host the launch of their bull-riding season, with tickets due to go on sale Sept. 23.

It’s become an annual tradition for cowboys — and their fans — to make the trip to downtown for pics in front of the bovine statue, he said.

“Our fans have such an affinity for that bull,” Giangola said. “It’s such a great symbol.”

Giangola said Arturo Di Modica, the artist who created the statue, proved he had guts — and the fighting spirit of a cowboy — when he presented “Charging Bull” to the world in December 1989.

Di Modica plopped the 3½-ton statue on Broad Street in the middle of the night in the wake of the 1987 stock market crash — a Christmas present, he says, to city residents.

Police hauled the illegal sculpture away, but the public outcry prompted city officials to bring the bull out of the impound lot and install it at its current location in Bowling Green.

It remains a hugely popular tourist attraction.

Modica told The Post on Sunday that he estimated the damage to the bull at $10,000 to $15,000, and said he expected it would be fixed by the end of the month when he returns from a trip to Italy.

On Saturday, Texas long-haul trucker Tevon Varlack smashed the statue with a banjo while calling it “the devil” — leaving a gash in one of the bull’s horns.

Varlack was charged with criminal mischief, disorderly conduct and criminal possession of a weapon.

At Varlack’s arraignment Sunday, Manhattan Criminal Court Judge Althea Drysdale released the Texan without bail pending a return court appearance, but cautioned him to “stay away” from city landmarks.
