horses that bit all the time are so annoying there is one up at the field and he constantly has his ears back and is biting for food and it can be annoying some times you just want to bit him right back and if im in the field doing water or catching my horse he will be there ready to take a chunk out of you and if you go to give him a treat he will chase u for more thats what i dont like about biting horses!!

I'm very careful about giving treats and I certainly wouldn't give this horse treats at all. The trouble is he's probably been confused with different signals. Yes without getting angry you need to be positive and move him out of your space. I would always have a long rope with me, just to whirl in a circle in front of his nose to send him back. When he moves away immediately release the pressure but whatever you do don't praise him by going into his space or giving him a treat.

Not the horses fault but the owner. It is their job to but in place rules for their horse to follow. Don't be afraid to stand up to these horses or ponies. It is most likely a face and battle of wills. If you prove the more stubborn one with body language and eye contact they should back down and give you space.
