I would leave it on regardless of how fast your subject is going. The blurry shots are most likely a combination of slightly erratic pan movement and/or shutter speed too slow. As helpful as mode 2 is with panning to get background movement, it still requires a steady movement to keep the subject sharp. Unless you have had a reasonable amount of practice with pans I would recommend a shutter speed not slower than 1/125 to start with.Better still, 1/200 or 1/250 would ensure more consistently sharp subjects. The best bet is to shoot some at each speed then check the results against your hastily scribbled data later. Stick with mode 2 for panning though, it should work well for the horse jumping.
