Good image but the rough ground has introduced vertical movement of the driver, blurring him a bit. Panning only effects the horizontal movement. Perhaps a faster shutter speed would have helped, but it is a balance between reducing the vertical without overdoing reducing the horizontal. Did you take any at 1/60 or 1/125 sec?

Ask yourself, "What's most important for the final image?".

Wes, your 1/30 sec, was to slow for this type of shot, up it in stages to see what is best for you, good attempt though, here is a recovery version. Ed.

Think i was panning in a upward movement in stead of horizontal or little camera shake,practice makes perfect...thanks for the comments...Wes

But suffice to say I very much like the movement blur on the horse's legs and you might lose that if you up the speed too much. Another day, of course, on a flatter piece of ground, it would have been even better than it already is. Good shot! Jeff

Hi Wes the answer is to keep trying I would if possible go for a shutter speed of 125 as minimum you can always go faster or slower from there,its agood place to start, try to bring your elbow into your body to almost form a tripod and practice rotating the upper part of your body to achieve smooth panning.

RAW to the core.
