He is unnamed in the show, but he is named "Gizmo" with a trademark symbol and "Gyro" in different versions of merchandise and named "Poindexter" in the comics.

Gizmo has an off-white coat, dark brown mane and tail, blue eyes, and a cutie mark of a robot. He shares his body model with "Burdock Hooffield", "Street Rat", "Spiral Notepad", and S07E02 Unnamed Earth Stallion #1 and somewhat resembles Tadwell.

IDW comics artist Andy Price has stated regarding this pony "I figure his name is Gizmo Poindexter... not sure if that could be more nerdy... unless maybe if his middle name was Myron."[1]
