Prick farrier is a piece of British military slang for an army doctor — a medical officer. 'Prick' is slang for a needle or syringe (as well as the penis); a farrier is someone who shoes horses. The joke maps the army doctor's practice of giving injections onto the farrier's practice of working with pointed metal implements on animals — implying the patients are treated more like livestock than humans. The term is irreverent and typically affectionate in a soldiers' dark-humour way.
(UK, military, slang) An army doctor.
